Benchmark: Test map size 2 - MeasureThat.net

HTML Preparation code:

<script>
function randomString()
{
    var text = "";
    var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

    for( var i=0; i < 20; i++ )
        text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));

    return text;
}

var randomKey = [];
var randomVals = [];

for (var i=0; i < 1001000; i++) {
   randomKey[i] = randomString();
   randomVals[i] = randomString();
}
</script>

Script Preparation code:

var map10k = new Map();
var map100k = new Map();
var map1000k = new Map();

for (var i=0; i < 10000; i++) {
   map10k.set(randomKey[i], randomVals[i]);
}
for (var i=0; i < 100000; i++) {
   map100k.set(randomKey[i], randomVals[i]);
}
for (var i=0; i < 1000000; i++) {
   map1000k.set(randomKey[i], randomVals[i]);
}

Tests:

for (var i=0; i < 1000; i++) { var val = map10k.size; }
Size 100k
for (var i=0; i < 1000; i++) { var val = map100k.size; }
Size 1000k
for (var i=0; i < 1000; i++) { var val = map1000k.size; }
Constant
for (var i=0; i < 1000; i++) { var val = 42; }

Let's dive into the world of MeasureThat.net, where JavaScript microbenchmarks come to life.

**Benchmark Definition**

The benchmark definition is represented by a JSON object that contains the script preparation code and HTML preparation code for the test. The script preparation code creates three instances of `Map` objects: `map10k`, `map100k`, and `map1000k`. Then, it populates these maps with random key-value pairs using loops.

The HTML preparation code defines a function `randomString()` that generates a random string for each iteration. It also initializes two arrays, `randomKey` and `randomVals`, to store the generated keys and values, respectively.

**Individual Test Cases**

Each test case has a unique name, description, and benchmark definition. There are four test cases:

1. **Size 10k**: This test case iterates over the `size` property of `map10k` for 1000 iterations.
2. **Size 100k**: This test case iterates over the `size` property of `map100k` for 1000 iterations.
3. **Size 1000k**: This test case iterates over the `size` property of `map1000k` for 1000 iterations.
4. **Constant**: This test case simply returns a constant value (`42`) for 1000 iterations.

**Options Compared**

In this benchmark, two main options are being compared:

* The size of the map: Creating maps with smaller sizes (10k and 100k) versus larger sizes (1000k).
* Constant vs. dynamic value: Returning a constant value (`42`) versus accessing the `size` property of a map.

**Pros and Cons**

Here's a brief analysis of each option:

1. **Map size**: Creating maps with smaller sizes can lead to faster execution times, as there are fewer key-value pairs to process. However, this may not accurately represent real-world scenarios where map sizes can grow arbitrarily large.
2. **Constant vs. dynamic value**: Returning a constant value is generally faster than accessing the `size` property of a map, which involves a lookup and potentially more complex operations.

**Library and Purpose**

The `Map` object in JavaScript is used to create hash tables that store key-value pairs. The `size` property of a `Map` returns the number of key-value pairs stored in it.

**Special JS Features or Syntax**

This benchmark does not use any special JavaScript features or syntax, making it accessible to developers with varying levels of expertise.

**Other Alternatives**

If you were to recreate this benchmark, you might consider alternatives such as:

* Using a different data structure, like an object or an array.
* Adding more test cases to cover additional scenarios.
* Incorporating other performance-related metrics, like memory usage or garbage collection pauses.

Keep in mind that these alternatives would require adjustments to the script preparation code and potentially impact the benchmark's accuracy.
