If I understood correctly, every number in javascript is 64-bit (i64)?

Does that mean that new Uint8Array([num]) uses less memory than just num?

  • The memory for num may be less, but you also have to factor in the memory used for the array header. Commented Sep 22, 2022 at 21:44
  • But Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]) should use less memory than [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] because the header overhead is amortized. Commented Sep 22, 2022 at 21:45
