The BigInt.asUintN
static method is used to wrap a BigInt value to an unsigned integer between 0 and 2width-1.

Syntax
BigInt.asUintN(width, bigint);
Parameters
width
- The amount of bits available for the integer size.
bigint
- The integer to clamp to fit into the supplied bits.
Returns
The value of bigint
modulo 2width
as an unsigned integer.
Examples
Staying in 64-bit ranges
The BigInt.asUintN()
method can be useful to stay in the range of 64-bit arithmetic.
const max = 2n ** 64n - 1n;
BigInt.asUintN(64, max);
// ↪ 18446744073709551615n
BigInt.asUintN(64, max + 1n);
// ↪ 0n
// zero because of overflow
