Script Preparation code:

var array = [];
var set = new Set();
var map = new Map();

var existingItem1 = {};
var existingItem2 = {};
var existingItem3 = {};
var newItem1 = {};
var newItem2 = {};
var newItem3 = {};

for (let i = 0, item; i < 100; i++) {
  item = {index: i};
  array.push(item);
  set.add(item);
  map.set(item, 0);
}

array.push(existingItem1, existingItem2, existingItem3);
set.add(existingItem1); set.add(existingItem2); set.add(existingItem3);
map.set(existingItem1, 0); map.set(existingItem2, 0); map.set(existingItem3, 0);

Tests:

conditional array.push

set.add
set.add(existingItem1); set.add(newItem1); set.add(existingItem2); set.add(newItem2); set.add(existingItem3); set.add(newItem3);
