buffer.writeFloatLE()

buf.writeFloatLE(value, offset[, noAssert])

  • value <Number> Bytes to be written to Buffer
  • offset <Number> 0 <= offset <= buf.length - 4
  • noAssert <Boolean> Default: false
  • Return: <Number> The offset plus the number of written bytes

Writes value to the Buffer at the specified offset with specified endian format (writeFloatBE() writes big endian, writeFloatLE() writes little endian). Behavior is not defined when value is anything other than a 32-bit float.

Set noAssert to true to skip validation of value and offset. This means that value may be too large for the specific function and offset may be beyond the end of the Buffer leading to the values being silently dropped. This should not be used unless you are certain of correctness.

Example:

const buf = Buffer.allocUnsafe(4);
buf.writeFloatBE(0xcafebabe, 0);

console.log(buf);
  // Prints: <Buffer 4f 4a fe bb>

buf.writeFloatLE(0xcafebabe, 0);

console.log(buf);
  // Prints: <Buffer bb fe 4a 4f>
