push allocated vs dynamic (v2)

Revision 2 of this benchmark created by vincent piel on

Description

is it usefull to pre-allocate the array by setting the last value first when assigning some values ?

Setup

var n=10000;
    
    var myArray = [];
    
    var myArray2 = new Array(n);

Test runner

Ready to run.

Testing in
TestOps/sec
push
for (var i=0; i<n; i++) { myArray.push(i) }
ready

  var i=n;
  while (i--) { myArray[i] =i }
