Script Preparation code:

function getArray(length) {
  const result = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    result.push(i + 'abc'); // In case the browser does some sort of optimization for arrays with only integers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  }
  return result;
}

  const index = Math.floor(Math.random() * arrayLength);

set_small = new Set(array_small);
