Script Preparation code:

var intMap = new Map();
var stringMap = new Map();

// arrays of keys so they don't have to construct them in the test cases
var stringKeys = [];
var intKeys = [];

for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    // identical values
    var value = "test123" + i.toString()
    intMap.set(i, value);
    intKeys.push(i);
    stringMap.set(i.toString(), value);
    stringKeys.push(i.toString());
}

function shuffle(array) {
  let currentIndex = array.length;

  // While there remain elements to shuffle...
  while (currentIndex != 0) {

    // Pick a remaining element...
    let randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
    currentIndex--;

    // And swap it with the current element.
    [array[currentIndex], array[randomIndex]] = [
      array[randomIndex], array[currentIndex]];
  }
}

// for the tests later
var stringOutputValues = [];
var intOutputValues = [];

// shuffle the arrays so they don't benefit from any order advantages
shuffle(stringKeys);
shuffle(intKeys);

Tests:

int map
let i = 0; for (const intKey of intKeys) { // do (identical) work w/ the values so there's no optimisation. // adds [accessNum, value concat accessNum] to the intOutputValues array intOutputValues.push([i.toString(), intMap.get(intKey) + i.toString()]); i++; }
