dataview.setInt8(3, 45);
dataview.setInt8(4, 67);
dataview.setInt8(5, 78);
dataview.setInt8(6, 89);
dataview.setInt8(7, 90);
dataview.setInt8(8, 123);
 
// print the value using getInt8 method that
// prints the first 8 int
console.log(dataview.getInt8(0);
console.log(dataview.getInt8(1);
console.log(dataview.getInt8(2);
console.log(dataview.getInt8(3);
console.log(dataview.getInt8(4);
console.log(dataview.getInt8(5);
console.log(dataview.getInt8(6);
console.log(dataview.getInt8(7);
