<h2 id="Summary">Summary</h2>
<p>The <strong><code>Int32Array</code></strong> typed array represents an array of twos-complement 32-bit signed integers in the platform byte order. If control over byte order is needed, use {{jsxref("DataView")}} instead. The contents are initialized to <code>0</code>. 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).</p>
