The dataView.getFloat32() is an inbuilt function in dataView which is used to get a 32-bit float at the specified location i.e, at byte offset from the start of the dataView. Range of 32-bit floating point number is form -3.4E+38 to +3.4E+38
Syntax:
dataView.getFloat32(byteOffset)
Parameters: It has parameter byteOffset which is offset in byte and it says where to read the data from the beginning(start) of the view .
Return value: It returns 32-bit signed float number.
Code #1:
<script> // Creating buffer with size in byte var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(20); // Creating a view var dataview1 = new DataView(buffer, 0, 10); // put the data 56.34 at slot 1 dataview1.setFloat32(1, 56.34); document.write(dataview1.getFloat32(1) + "<br>"); </script> |
Output:
56.34000015258789
Code #2:
Not only float value but also a math function like Math.PI can be taken as the parameter of the function.
<script> // Creating buffer with size in byte var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(20); // Creating a view with slot from o to 10 var dataview1 = new DataView(buffer, 0, 10); // put the value of PI at slot 1 dataview1.setFloat32(1, Math.PI); document.write(dataview1.getFloat32(1) + "<br>"); </script> |
Output:
3.1415927410125732
Code #2:
When there is no data to be stored, then it returns NaN i.e, not a number.
<script> // Creating buffer with size in byte var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(20); // Creating a view var dataview1 = new DataView(buffer, 0, 10); // putting no data at slot 1 dataview1.setFloat32(1); document.write(dataview1.getFloat32(1) + "<br>"); </script> |
Output:
NaN
