forEach vs loop for sparse arrays (v19)

Revision 19 of this benchmark created on

Setup

var arr = [];
    for(var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) arr[i]=i;
    
    //make it very sparse
    for(var i=0; i<1000; i+=40) {
      for(var j=0; j<39; j++) {
        delete arr[i+j];
      }
    }
    
    function callback(){}

for 3
for (var i = arr.length-1; i > -1; i--) {if (arr[i]) {callback(arr[i]);}}
ready
for 4
for (i = arr.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
  if (arr[i]) {callback(arr[i]);}
}
ready
while 2
var i = arr.length;
while(i--) {
  if (arr[i]) {callback(arr[i]);}
}
ready
for loop, most common form
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  if (arr[i]) {callback(arr[i]);}
}
ready
foreach with one function
arr.forEach(callback);
ready
for..in loop
for (var prop in arr) {
  callback(arr[prop]);
}
ready
