page-type: javascript-instance-method

---
The **`getUint32()`** method of {{jsxref("DataView")}} instances reads 4 bytes starting at the specified byte offset of this `DataView` and interprets them as a 32-bit unsigned integer. There is no alignment constraint; multi-byte values may be fetched from any offset within bounds.
{{InteractiveExample("JavaScript Demo: DataView.prototype.getUint32()")}}
```js interactive-example
// Create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);
const view = new DataView(buffer);
view.setUint32(1, 4294967295); // Max unsigned 32-bit integer
console.log(view.getUint32(1));
// Expected output: 4294967295
```
## Syntax
```js-nolint
getUint32(byteOffset)
getUint32(byteOffset, littleEndian)
```
### Parameters
- `byteOffset`
- : The offset, in bytes, from the start of the view to read the data from.
- `littleEndian` {{optional_inline}}
- : Indicates whether the data is stored in [little- or big-endian](/en-US/docs/Glossary/Endianness) format. If `false` or `undefined`, a big-endian value is read.
### Return value
An integer from 0 to 4294967295, inclusive.
### Exceptions
- {{jsxref("RangeError")}}
- : Thrown if the `byteOffset` is set such that it would read beyond the end of the view.
## Examples
### Using getUint32()
```js
const { buffer } = new Uint8Array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]);
const dataview = new DataView(buffer);
console.log(dataview.getUint32(1)); // 16909060
