TypedArray.prototype.move()

The move() method used to copy the sequence of array elements within the array to the position starting at target. However, this non-standard method has been replaced with the standard TypedArray.prototype.copyWithin() method. TypedArray is one of the typed array types here.

Syntax

typedarray.move(start, end, target)

Parameters

start

Source start index position where to start copying elements from.

end

Source end index position where to end copying elements from.

target

Target start index position where to copy the elements to.

Return value

The modified type array.

Examples

Using the move method

var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
var uint8 = new Uint8Array(buffer);
uint8.set([1,2,3]);
console.log(uint8); // Uint8Array [ 1, 2, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]
uint8.move(0,3,3);
console.log(uint8); // Uint8Array [ 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 0, 0 ]

Specifications

Not part of any standard. Superseded by TypedArray.prototype.copyWithin().
