Tests:

For
const array = generateTestArray(); for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { array[0].x = array[0].a + array[0].b; array[0].y = array[0].a + array[0].b * 2; }
For...Of
const array = generateTestArray(); for (const a of array) { a.x = a.a + a.b; a.y = a.a + a.b * 2; }
ForEach
const array = generateTestArray(); array.forEach(a => { a.x = a.a + a.b; a.y = a.a + a.b * 2; });
