Performance of Array vs. Object (v266)

Revision 266 of this benchmark created by Kirill Lebedev on

Setup

var arr = [],
      i,
      obj = {};
  for(i = 0; i < 100; i += 1) {
      arr.push(i);
      obj[i] = i;
  }
  
  function getRandomIndex(obj) {
     var idx = Math.floor(Math.random()*99);
     if(false === obj.hasOwnProperty(idx)) {
        while (false === obj.hasOwnProperty(idx)) {
            idx = Math.floor(Math.random()*99);
        }
     }
     return idx;
  }
