// Step 2: Create a Uint8Array from arrData
let uint8Arr = new Uint8Array(arrData);

// Step 3: Get the underlying ArrayBuffer from the Uint8Array
let arrayBuf = uint8Arr.buffer;

// Step 4: Create a DataView based on the ArrayBuffer
let dataView = new DataView(arrayBuf);

// Example usage:
console.log(uint8Arr);   // Uint8Array(7) [21, 19, 10, 3, 97, 99, 102]
console.log(arrayBuf);   // ArrayBuffer with byteLength of 7
console.log(dataView);   // DataView { byteLength: 7, ... }
