Benchmark: object functions vs if statements 2

Tests:

Object
const someOp = () => { console.info('boi') } const ops = { 0: someOp, 1: () => null, 2: () => null, 3: someOp, } for (let i = 0; i < 4; i++) { ops[i](); }
If statement
const someOp = () => { console.info('boi') } const enter = 0; const exit = 3; for (let i = 0; i < 4; i++) { if (i === enter) { someOp(); } else if (i === exit) { someOp(); } }

**Benchmark Explanation**

The provided JSON represents two individual test cases for measuring the performance of JavaScript microbenchmarks on MeasureThat.net.

**Test Case 1: Object Functions vs If Statements**

In this test case, we have an object `ops` with four properties (0-3) that call either a function `someOp` or a no-op function. The `someOp` function simply logs "boi" to the console. The test iterates through each property in the `ops` object and calls its corresponding function.

**Test Case 2: If Statement**

In this test case, we have an if-else statement that checks if the current iteration index `i` is equal to a specific value (either `enter` or `exit`). If it is, the `someOp` function is called. The test iterates through each iteration of the loop and applies this condition.

**Comparison of Approaches**

In both test cases, we are comparing two approaches:

1. **Object Functions**: This approach uses an object with multiple functions to call in a loop. The benefits of this approach include:
	* Easy to extend or modify the number of functions being called.
	* Can be more memory-efficient than using if-else statements.
	However, it also has some drawbacks:
	* May have higher overhead due to function lookup and calling.
2. **If Statement**: This approach uses an if-else statement with a loop. The benefits of this approach include:
	* Can take advantage of compiler optimizations for simple conditional statements.
	* Often results in more efficient machine code generation.

**Library: console**

In both test cases, we use the `console` object to log messages to the console. The `console.info()` function is used in Test Case 1 and not explicitly mentioned in Test Case 2, but it's implied that the same logging functionality would be needed.

**Special JS Feature/Syntax: None Mentioned**

There are no special JavaScript features or syntaxes being tested in these benchmarks.

**Other Alternatives**

If you wanted to test these benchmarks on different platforms, browsers, or devices, MeasureThat.net allows you to add additional metadata to the benchmark definition, such as:

* Browser version
* Platform (e.g., Windows, macOS)
* Device type (e.g., desktop, mobile)

You can also modify the `Benchmark Definition` string to include custom logic or data structures to test specific scenarios.

Keep in mind that the results may vary depending on the platform, browser, and device being used.
