putInt16

fun ByteArray.putInt16(offset: Int, value: Int, validRange: IntRange = Short.MIN_VALUE..Short.MAX_VALUE)

Writes an Int16 value to the byte array at the specified offset.

This function takes an integer value and writes it as two bytes (Int16) into the byte array at the specified offset. It also validates that the value falls within a specified range, ensuring it can be represented as a two-byte integer.

Parameters

offset

The offset (index) in the byte array where the Int16 value should be written. Must be within the valid range of the array's indices.

value

The Int16 value to be written.

validRange

The valid range for the value. Defaults to Short.MIN_VALUE to Short.MAX_VALUE (i.e., -32768 to 32767). Any value outside this range will cause an exception to be thrown.

Throws

If the value is outside the specified validRange.

If the offset or offset + 1 is negative or greater than or equal to the array's size.
