The **`BigInt64Array`** typed array represents an array of 64-bit signed integers in the platform byte order. If control over byte order is needed, use {{jsxref("DataView")}} instead. The contents are initialized to `0n` unless initialization data is explicitly provided. Once established, you can reference elements in the array using the object's methods, or using standard array index syntax (that is, using bracket notation).
`BigInt64Array` is a subclass of the hidden {{jsxref("TypedArray")}} class.
{{InteractiveExample("JavaScript Demo: BigInt64Array", "taller")}}
```js interactive-example
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(24);
const bigint64 = new BigInt64Array(buffer);
bigint64[0] = 5886014448488689n;
bigint64[1] = 1881938909131133n;
bigint64[2] = 1898875537769492n;
bigint64[0] = 6118793953620967n;
console.log(bigint64);
// Expected Output: BigInt64Array [6118793953620967n, 1881938909131133n, 1898875537769492n]
console.log(bigint64[2]);
// Expected Output: 1898875537769492n
console.log("Array length:", bigint64.length);
// Expected Output: Array length: 3
console.log("Array byte length:", bigint64.byteLength);
// Expected Output: Array byte length: 24
console.log("Array byte offset:", bigint64.byteOffset);
// Expected Output: Array byte offset: 0
bigint64.set([100n, 200n], 1);
console.log(bigint64);
// Expected Output: BigInt64Array [6118793953620967n, 100n, 200n]
```
## Constructor
- {{jsxref("BigInt64Array/BigInt64Array", "BigInt64Array()")}}
- : Creates a new `BigInt64Array` object.
## Static properties
_Also inherits static properties from its parent {{jsxref("TypedArray")}}_.
- {{jsxref("TypedArray/BYTES_PER_ELEMENT", "BigInt64Array.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT")}}
- : Returns a number value of the element size. `8` in the case of `BigInt64Array`.
## Static methods
_Inherits static methods from its parent {{jsxref("TypedArray")}}_.
## Instance properties
_Also inherits instance properties from its parent {{jsxref("TypedArray")}}_.
These properties are defined on `BigInt64Array.prototype` and shared by all `BigInt64Array` instances.
- {{jsxref("TypedArray/BYTES_PER_ELEMENT", "BigInt64Array.prototype.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT")}}
- : Returns a number value of the element size. `8` in the case of a `BigInt64Array`.
- {{jsxref("Object/constructor", "BigInt64Array.prototype.constructor")}}
- : The constructor function that created the instance object. For `BigInt64Array` instances, the initial value is the {{jsxref("BigInt64Array/BigInt64Array", "BigInt64Array")}} constructor.
## Instance methods
_Inherits instance methods from its parent {{jsxref("TypedArray")}}_.
## Examples
### Different ways to create a BigInt64Array
```js
// From a length
const bigint64 = new BigInt64Array(2);
bigint64[0] = 42n;
console.log(bigint64[0]); // 42n
console.log(bigint64.length); // 2
console.log(bigint64.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT); // 8
// From an array
const x = new BigInt64Array([21n, 31n]);
console.log(x[1]); // 31n
// From another TypedArray
const y = new BigInt64Array(x);
console.log(y[0]); // 21n
// From an ArrayBuffer
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(64);
const z = new BigInt64Array(buffer, 8, 4);
console.log(z.byteOffset); // 8
// From an iterable
const iterable = (function* () {
yield* [1n, 2n, 3n];
})();
const bigint64FromIterable = new BigInt64Array(iterable);
console.log(bigint64FromIterable);
// BigInt64Array [1n, 2n, 3n]
```
