BigInt.asUintN()

The BigInt.asUintN static method clamps a BigInt value to an unsigned integer value, and returns that value.

Syntax

BigInt.asUintN(bits, bigint);

Parameters

bits

The amount of bits available for the integer size.

bigint

The BigInt value to clamp to fit into the supplied bits.

Returns

The value of bigint modulo 2^bits, as an unsigned integer.

Examples

Staying in 64-bit ranges

The BigInt.asUintN() method can be useful to stay in the range of 64-bit arithmetic.

const max = 2n ** 64n - 1n;

BigInt.asUintN(64, max);
// ↪ 18446744073709551615n

BigInt.asUintN(64, max + 1n);
// ↪ 0n
// zero because of overflow
