BigInt64Array() constructor

The BigInt64Array() constructor creates BigInt64Array objects. The contents are initialized to 0n.

Syntax

js
new BigInt64Array()
new BigInt64Array(length)
new BigInt64Array(typedArray)
new BigInt64Array(object)

new BigInt64Array(buffer)
new BigInt64Array(buffer, byteOffset)
new BigInt64Array(buffer, byteOffset, length)

Note: BigInt64Array() can only be constructed with new. Attempting to call it without new throws a TypeError.

Examples

Different ways to create a BigInt64Array

js
// From a length
const bigint64 = new BigInt64Array(2);
bigint64[0] = 42n;
console.log(bigint64[0]); // 42n
console.log(bigint64.length); // 2
console.log(bigint64.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT); // 8

// From an array
const x = new BigInt64Array([21n, 31n]);
console.log(x[1]); // 31n

// From another TypedArray
const y = new BigInt64Array(x);
console.log(y[0]); // 21n

// From an ArrayBuffer
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(64);
const z = new BigInt64Array(buffer, 8, 4);
console.log(z.byteOffset); // 8

// From an iterable
const iterable = (function* () {
  yield* [1n, 2n, 3n];
})();
const bigint64FromIterable = new BigInt64Array(iterable);
console.log(bigint64FromIterable);
// BigInt64Array [1n, 2n, 3n]
