<p>The <strong><code>Int16Array</code></strong> typed array represents an array of twos-complement 16-bit signed integers in the platform byte order. If control over byte order is needed, use {{jsxref("DataView")}} instead. The contents are initialized to <code>0</code>. Once established, you can reference elements in the array using the object's methods, or using standard array index syntax (that is, using bracket notation).</p>

<h2 id="Compatibility_notes">Compatibility notes</h2>

<p>Starting with ECMAScript 2015, <code>Int16Array</code> constructors require to be constructed with a {{jsxref("Operators/new", "new")}} operator. Calling a <code>Int16Array</code> constructor as a function without <code>new</code>, will throw a {{jsxref("TypeError")}} from now on.</p>

<pre class="brush: js example-bad">var dv = Int16Array([1, 2, 3]);
// TypeError: calling a builtin Int16Array constructor
// without new is forbidden</pre>

<pre class="brush: js example-good">var dv = new Int16Array([1, 2, 3]);</pre>
