Benchmark Definition
The benchmark definition is a JavaScript function that generates an array of numbers and shuffles it using the sort
method with a custom comparison function. The purpose of this benchmark is to measure the performance of different approaches to shuffle an array.
In this specific case, the comparison function uses Math.random()
to generate a random number between 0 and 1. This means that each iteration of the sort algorithm will have a 50% chance of selecting either the first or second element as the next one in the sorted order.
Options Compared
There are two options being compared:
sort
method without any optimizations.Pros and Cons
The main difference between these two options is that one of them might be considered more efficient due to caching effects in browsers (Chrome 84).
However, there is no clear performance gain from using Test
instead of Naive
.
A more interesting option could have been included: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7].sort((a,b) => a-b);
