Preallocate
var N = 10000; var result = new Array(N); for (var i = 0; i < N; i++) { result[i] = i * 2; }
Preallocate & fill
var N = 10000; var result = new Array(N).fill(0); for (var i = 0; i < N; i++) { result[i] = i * 2; }
Push
var N = 10000; var result = []; for (var i = 0; i < N; i++) { result.push(i * 2); }
Index
var N = 10000; var result = []; for (var i = 0; i < N; i++) { result[i] = i * 2; }
