<script>
  // Populate the base array
  var arr = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    arr[i] = i;
  }

For loop, basic
var sum1 = 0;
var length1 = arr.length;
for (var i1 = 0; i1 < length1; i1++) {
  sum1 += someFn(arr[i1]);
}
console.log(sum1);
ready
While length--
var i2 = arr.length;
var sum2 = 0;
while(i2--) {
  sum2 += someFn(arr[i2]);
}

console.log(sum2);
ready
Pop
var el;
var sum3 = 0;
while(el = arr.pop()) {
  sum3 += someFn(el);
}

console.log(sum3);
ready
