Setup

var nodes = document.getElementsByTagName('li');
    var emptyArr = [],
      existingArr = ['hello', 'world', 'how', 'are', 'you']
    
      function toArrayEmpty(obj) {
        obj = (len = obj.length) ? obj : [obj];
        arr = [];
        for (; len--; arr[len] = obj[len]);
        return arr;
    
      }
    
      function toArrayReverseForLoop(obj, arr) {
        obj = obj.length ? obj : [obj];
        var index = arr ? arr.length + obj.length : obj.length;
        var len = obj.length;
        arr = arr || [];
        for (; len-- && index--; arr[index] = obj[len]);
        return arr;
      }
    
      function toArrayPush(obj, arr) {
        arr = arr || [];
        for (var i = 0, len = obj.length; i < len; i++) {
          arr.push(obj[i])
        }
        return arr;
    
      }
    var cachedProtoPush = Array.prototype.push;
    var cachedProtoSlice = Array.prototype.slice;
