The Float64Array
typed array represents an array of 64-bit floating point numbers (corresponding to the C double
data type) in the platform byte order. If control over byte order is needed, use DataView
instead. The contents are initialized to 0
. Once established, you can reference elements in the array using the object's methods, or using standard array index syntax (that is, using bracket notation).
Syntax
new Float64Array(length); new Float64Array(typedArray); new Float64Array(object); new Float64Array(buffer [, byteOffset [, length]]);
For more information about the constructor syntax and the parameters, see TypedArray.
Properties
Float64Array.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT
- Returns a number value of the element size.
8
in the case of anFloat64Array
. - Float64Array.length
- Static length property whose value is 3. For the actual length (number of elements), see
Float64Array.prototype.length
. Float64Array.name
- Returns the string value of the constructor name. In the case of the
Float64Array
type: "Float64Array". Float64Array.prototype
- Prototype for the TypedArray objects.
Methods

.
Float64Array
prototype

- Returns a new
Array Iterator
that contains the keys for each index in the array. See alsoArray.prototype.keys()
. Float64Array.prototype.lastIndexOf()

Array.prototype.lastIndexOf()
. Float64Array.prototype.map()
- Creates a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element in this array. See also
Array.prototype.map()
. Float64Array.prototype.move()
Unimplemented- Former non-standard version of
Float64Array.prototype.copyWithin()
. Float64Array.prototype.reduce()
- Apply a function against an accumulator and each value of the array (from left-to-right) as to reduce it to a single value. See also
Array.prototype.reduce()
. Float64Array.prototype.reduceRight()
- Apply a function against an accumulator and each value of the array (from right-to-left) as to reduce it to a single value. See also
Array.prototype.reduceRight()
. Float64Array.prototype.reverse()
- Reverses the order of the elements of an array — the first becomes the last, and the last becomes the first. See also
Array.prototype.reverse()
. Float64Array.prototype.set()
- Stores multiple values in the typed array, reading input values from a specified array.
Float64Array.prototype.slice()
- Extracts a section of an array and returns a new array. See also
Array.prototype.slice()
. Float64Array.prototype.some()
- Returns true if at least one element in this array satisfies the provided testing function. See also
Array.prototype.some()

Examples
// From a length var float64 = new Float64Array(2); float64[0] = 42; console.log(float64[0]); // 42 console.log(float64.length); // 2 console.log(float64.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT); // 8 // From an array var arr = new Float64Array([21,31]); console.log(arr[1]); // 31 // From another TypedArray var x = new Float64Array([21, 31]); var y = new Float64Array(x); console.log(y[0]); // 21 // From an ArrayBuffer var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(32); var z = new Float64Array(buffer, 0, 4);

Compatibility notes
Starting with ECMAScript 2015 (ES6), Float64Array
constructors require to be constructed with a new
operator. Calling a Float64Array
constructor as a function without new
, will throw a TypeError
from now on.
var dv = Float64Array([1, 2, 3]); // TypeError: calling a builtin Float64Array constructor // without new is forbidden
var dv = new Float64Array([1, 2, 3]);
