<h2 id="Syntax">Syntax</h2>

<pre class="syntaxbox">
SIMD.Int16x8(s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7);</pre>

<h3 id="Parameters">Parameters</h3>

<dl>
 <dt><code>s[0-7]</code> {{optional_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>An integer specifying the value of the lane. Defaults to 0.</dd>
</dl>

<h2 id="Constructor_functions">Constructor functions</h2>

<p>In addition to the simple creator functions, the SIMD API provides the following constructor functions.</p>

<dl>
 <dt>{{jsxref("SIMD.splat", "SIMD.Int16x8.splat()")}}</dt>
 <dd>Creates an Int16x8 with all lanes set to a given value.</dd>
 <dt>{{jsxref("SIMD.bool", "SIMD.Int16x8.bool()")}}</dt>
 <dd>Creates an Int16x8 with boolean parameters, allowing you to create an explicit selection mask.</dd>
</dl>

<p>You can also <a href="#Data_conversions">convert from another SIMD data type to Int16x8</a>.</p>

<div class="note">
<p><strong>Note:</strong> SIMD types don't work with <code>new</code>, as SIMD values are no "boxed" objects (comparable to <code>String(s)</code> vs. <code>new String(s)</code>, which creates a String object).</p>

<pre class="brush: js example-bad">
var v = new SIMD.Int16x8(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8); 
// TypeError: SIMD.Int16x8 is not a constructor</pre>

<p>Instead, you just write:</p>

<pre class="brush: js example-good">
var v = SIMD.Int16x8(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);</pre>
</div>
