Benchmark: Multiple OR statements vs. Array Index Of.

Script Preparation code:

var array = ['a','b','c'];
var largeArray = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g'];

Tests:

small array - OR
if(array[0] === 'c' || array[1] === 'c' || array[2] === 'c'){ console.log('found') }
small array - indexOf
if(array.indexOf('c') !== -1){ console.log('found') }
large array - OR
if(largeArray[0] === 'g' || largeArray[1] === 'g' || largeArray[2] === 'g' || largeArray[3] === 'g' || largeArray[4] === 'g' || largeArray[5] === 'g' || largeArray[6] === 'g' || largeArray[7] === 'g'){ console.log('found') }
large array - indexOf
if(largeArray.indexOf('g') !== -1){ console.log('found') }
