HTML Preparation code:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/lodash@4.17.4/lodash.min.js"></script>

Script Preparation code:

// Sample data
const data = Array.from({ length: 5 }, (_, i) => ({ value: i % 100 }));

const sumBy = (fn, arr) =>
  arr.reduce((acc, curr) => acc + fn(curr), 0);
const avgBy = (fn, arr) => sumBy(fn, arr) / arr.length;

// 1. Lodash
function lodashMeanBy(array, fn) {
  return _.meanBy(array, fn);
}

// 2. Reduce
function reduceMeanBy(array, fn) {
  const sum = array.reduce((acc, obj) => acc + fn(obj), 0);
  return sum / array.length;
}

// 3. For loop
function forLoopMeanBy(array, fn) {
  let sum = 0;
  for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
    sum += fn(array[i]);
  }
  return sum / array.length;
}

// 4. For...of
function forOfMeanBy(array, fn) {
  let sum = 0;
  for (const item of array) {
    sum += fn(item);
  }
  return sum / array.length;
}

// 5. While loop
function whileMeanBy(array, fn) {
  let sum = 0;
  let i = 0;
  const len = array.length;
  while (i < len) {
    sum += fn(array[i++]);
  }
  return sum / len;
}

// 6. forEach
function forEachMeanBy(array, fn) {
  let sum = 0;
  array.forEach(item => {
    sum += fn(item);
  });
  return sum / array.length;
}

const accessor = obj => obj.value;
