Binary Search with uneven distribution (v2)

Revision 2 of this benchmark created by Göran Andersson on


Setup

Array.prototype.binarySearchFast = function(search) {
        
      var size = this.length,
          high = size -1,
          low = 0;
      
      while (high > low) {
        
        if (this[low] === search) return low;
        else if (this[high] === search) return high;
    
        target = (((search - this[low]) / (this[high] - this[low])) * (high - low)) >>> 0;
    
        if (this[target] === search) return target;
        else if (search > this[target]) low = target + 1, high--;
        else high = target - 1, low++;
      }
      
      return -1;
    };
    
    Array.prototype.binarySearch = function(find) {
      var low = 0, high = this.length - 1,
          i, comparison;
      while (low <= high) {
        i = Math.floor((low + high) / 2);
        if (this[i] < find) { low = i + 1; continue; };
        if (this[i] > find) { high = i - 1; continue; };
        return i;
      }
      return null;
    };
    
    for (var i = 0, arr = [], find = 0; i < 100000; i += 100) {
      arr.push(i + Math.round(Math.random() * 100));
    }
    arr.push(100000000);
    
    var find = arr[Math.round(arr.length * Math.random())];
