Revision 236 of this benchmark created by kambing86 on

Description

Testing speed of a standard for loop vs. Array.indexOf vs. inverse for loop vs. while loop vs. for with cached length.

Checking for 500000 in a 1000000 index array for equal opportunity inverse.

  var ar = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++){
    ar.push(i);

  var elem = 500000;
</script>
