Javascript BigUint64Array sort()

Introduction

The Javascript BigUint64Array sort() method sorts the elements of a typed array numerically.

It returns the sorted typed array.

This method works the same as Array.prototype.sort(), except that sorts the values numerically instead of as strings. 

BigUint64Array.sort([compareFunction])
Parameter Optional Meaning
compareFunctionOptional Specifies a function that defines the sort order.

Unlike plain Arrays, a compare function is not required to sort the numbers numerically.

Regular Arrays require a compare function to sort numerically: 

let numbers = new BigUint64Array([40n, 1n, 5n, 200n]);
numbers.sort();/*from  w  w  w . j  a  v a 2 s  . c  o  m*/
numbers = [40, 1, 5, 200];
numbers.sort();
console.log(numbers);

numbers.sort((a, b) => a - b); // compare numbers
console.log(numbers);
