BigInt.asUintN()

The BigInt.asUintN() static method truncates a BigInt value to the given number of least significant bits and returns that value as an unsigned integer.

The BigInt.asUintN method truncates a BigInt value to the given number of bits, and interprets the result as an unsigned integer. Unsigned integers have no sign bits and are always non-negative. For example, for BigInt.asUintN(4, 25n), the value 25n is truncated to 9n:

Note: BigInt values are always encoded as two’s complement in binary.

Unlike similar language APIs such as Number.prototype.toExponential(), asUintN is a static property of BigInt, so you always use it as BigInt.asUintN(), rather than as a method of a BigInt value. Exposing asUintN() as a “standard library function” allows interop with asm.js.

Syntax example: BigInt.asUintN(bits, bigint)
