Benchmark: Python range(a, b, n) in JavaScript

Script Preparation code:

function* range1(a, b, n = 1) {
	for (let i = a; i < b; i += n) yield i;
}

function range2(a, b, n = 1) {
	return Array.from({ length: Math.ceil((b - a) / n), map: (_, i) => start + i * n });
}

Tests:

Generator
let nn = 0; for (const n of range1(0, 10000, 5)) nn++;
Array
let nn = 0; for (const n of range2(0, 10000, 5)) nn++;
Raw loop
let nn = 0; for (let i = 0; i < 10000; i += 5) nn++;
