The indexOf() method of TypedArray instances returns the first index at which a given element can be found in the typed array, or -1 if it is not present. This method has the same algorithm as Array.prototype.indexOf.

Syntax

indexOf(searchElement)
indexOf(searchElement, fromIndex)

Parameters

• searchElement
  • : Element to locate in the typed array.

• fromIndex

  • : Zero-based index at which to start searching, converted to an integer.

Return value

The first index of searchElement in the typed array; -1 if not found.

Description

See Array.prototype.indexOf for more details. This method is not generic and can only be called on typed array instances.

Examples

Using indexOf()

const uint8 = new Uint8Array([2, 5, 9]);
uint8.indexOf(2); // 0
uint8.indexOf(7); // -1
uint8.indexOf(9, 2); // 2
uint8.indexOf(2, -1); // -1
uint8.indexOf(2, -3); // 0
