u32()

Syntax

function u32(v: number): Node<'u32'>;
function u32(x: ReadonlyNode<ScalarCastSource>): Node<'u32'>;

Parameters

v number

Return value

Node<'u32'>

Exceptions

TypeError

v is neither a JS number nor a scalar node.

SD0116

SD0116 when the node operand is not a scalar.

Description

Use it over the f32 default wherever WGSL demands an unsigned scalar: buffer strides, vertex and instance indices, bit-flag masks used with .bitAnd and .bitOr.

A Node argument is a cast instead: u32(x) converts, the free-function twin of x.u32(). It builds what toU32 builds, and its operand is bounded to a scalar.

Examples

import { u32 } from 'typeshade'

const flags = u32(4)  // Node<'u32'>
