Array looping (version: 0)

Finding out the fastest way to loop through an array

Comparing performance of: Simple for loop vs Simple for loop (reverse) vs Array.forEach vs for loop + Array.entries vs while + Array.entries vs enumerable for loop (order not important) vs enumerable for loop (order is respected) vs Array.map vs Array.filter vs while + Array.entries (condensed) vs for loop + Array.entries (condensed) vs Simple for loop (condensed) vs Instructionless for loop

Script Preparation code:

var arr = [];

for( var cpt = 0; cpt < 1000; cpt++ ) {
  arr.push( Math.random() );
}

var someFn = function( item ) {
  return item * 3 + item / 5;
}

Tests:

Simple for loop
for( var i = 0, n = arr.length; i < n; i++ ) { someFn( arr[ i ] ); }
Simple for loop (reverse)
for( var i = arr.length; i > -1; i-- ) { someFn( arr[ i ] ); }
Array.forEach
arr.forEach( someFn );
for loop + Array.entries
for( var e = arr.entries(), n = e.next(); ! n.done; n = e.next() ) { someFn( n.value[ 1 ] ); }
while + Array.entries
var e = arr.entries(), n = e.next(); while( ! n.done ) { someFn( n.value[ 1 ] ); n = e.next(); }
enumerable for loop (order not important)
for( var i in arr ) { someFn( arr[ i ] ); }
enumerable for loop (order is respected)
for( r of arr ) { someFn( r ); }
Array.map
arr.map( someFn );
Array.filter
arr.filter( someFn );
while + Array.entries (condensed)
var e = arr.entries(), n; while( ! ( n = e.next() ).done ) { someFn( n.value[ 1 ] ); }
for loop + Array.entries (condensed)
for( var e = arr.entries(), n; ! (n = e.next()).done; ) { someFn( n.value[ 1 ] ); }
Simple for loop (condensed)
for( var i = 0, n = arr.length; i < n; ) { someFn( arr[ i++ ] ); }
Instructionless for loop
for( var i = 0, n = arr.length; i < n; someFn( arr[ i++ ] ) ) ;
