DataView.prototype.getUint32()
BaselineWidely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
ThegetUint32()
method ofDataView
instances reads 4 bytes starting at the specified byte offset of thisDataView
and interprets them as a 32-bit unsigned integer. There is no alignment constraint; multi-byte values may be fetched from any offset within bounds.
Try it
// Create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytesconst buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);const view = new DataView(buffer);view.setUint32(1, 4294967295); // Max unsigned 32-bit integerconsole.log(view.getUint32(1));// Expected output: 4294967295
Syntax
js
getUint32(byteOffset)getUint32(byteOffset, littleEndian)
Parameters
byteOffset
The offset, in bytes, from the start of the view to read the data from.
littleEndian
OptionalIndicates whether the data is stored inlittle- or big-endian format. If
false
orundefined
, a big-endian value is read.
Return value
An integer from 0 to 4294967295, inclusive.
Exceptions
RangeError
Thrown if the
byteOffset
is set such that it would read beyond the end of the view.
Examples
Using getUint32()
js
const { buffer } = new Uint8Array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]);const dataview = new DataView(buffer);console.log(dataview.getUint32(1)); // 16909060
