Bits to bytes

Benchmark created on

Description

Testing if naive parseInt is faster than other things that come to mind.

Setup

var bits = [0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0]; 

var makeByteR = (b) => b.reduceRight((c, bi, i) => (bi ? c | (1 << 7-i) : c), 0);

var makeByteF = (b, c = 0, i) => {
  for(i = 0; i<8; i++){
  	if(b[7-i]){
  	  c |= 1 << i ;
    }
  } 
  return c; 
} 

var makeByteP = (b, c = 0) => {
  while(b.length)c = b.pop() ? c | 1 << 7 - b.length: c;
  return c;
}
