types = md`### The 11 types of typed arrays Typed arrays have self-descriptive names. The name *typed array* is a bit misleading though, as they are really views and not actual \`Array\`s, they merely reference the underlying \`ArrayBuffer\`. | Type | Bytes | Range (exp) | Range (human) | ------ | ---- | --------- | | \`Int8Array\` | 1 | ${tex`-2^7`} to ${tex`2^7-1`} | -128 to 127 | | \`Uint8Array\` | 1 | 0 to ${tex`2^8-1`} | 0 to 255 | | \`Uint8ClampedArray\`| 1 | 0 to ${tex`2^8 - 1`} | 0 to 255 (clamped) | | \`Int16Array\` | 2 | ${tex`-2^{15}`} to ${tex`2^{15}-1`} | -32 768 to 32 767 | | \`Uint16Array\` | 2 | 0 to ${tex`2^{16}-1`} | 0 to 65 535 | | \`Int32Array\` | 4 | ${tex`-2^{31}`} to ${tex`2^{31}-1`} | | | \`Uint32Array\` | 4 | 0 to ${tex`2^{32}-1`} | | | \`BigInt64Array\` | 8 | ${tex`-2^{63}`} to ${tex`2^{63}-1`} | | | \`BigUint64Array\` | 8 | 0 to ${tex`2^{64} -1`} | | | \`Float32Array\` | 4 | ${tex`1.2 \times 10^{-38}`} to ${tex`3.4\times 10^{38}`}| | | \`Float64Array\` | 8 | ${tex`5.0 \times 10^{-324}`} to ${tex`1.8 \times 10^{308}`} | |

Glossary

\`U\`: Unsigned, no negative sign allowed, all values are positive
\`Int\`: Integers, all values are whole numbers; 0, 1, 2, 3...
\`Float\`: Floating point
[\`BigInt\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt): A built-in object that provides a way to represent whole numbers larger than ${tex`2^{53} - 1`}
\`8\`: Only 8 bits of information, which means the max value is ${tex`2^8-1=255`}
\`16\`: Only 16 bits of information, which means the max value is ${tex`2^{16}-1`}
\`32\`: Only 32 bits of information, which means the max value is ${tex`2^{32}-1`}
\`64\`: Only 64 bits of information, which means the max value is ${tex`2^{64}-1`}
