Caching array's length

Benchmark created by david Catuhe on

Description

Should I cache the length of the array or can I access it every time in the loop?

Setup

var myArray = [];
    
    var length = 50000;
    
    for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
      myArray.push(Math.random());
    }

Test runner

Ready to run.
