Benchmark: JS Regex vs .startsWith vs .indexOf (test 2)

HTML Preparation code:

<div></div>

Script Preparation code:

window.regexStart = /^test/;
window.regexEnd = /test$/;
window.match = 'test';
window.matchLength = window.match.length;
var data = window.data = [];
const possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
var TOTAL_STRINGS = window.TOTAL_STRINGS = 100000;

function getRandomInt(max) {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * max);
}

function makeRandomString(len) {
  var text = "";
  for( var i=0; i < len; i++ ) {
    text += possible.charAt(getRandomInt(possible.length));
  }
  return text;
}

while (data.length < TOTAL_STRINGS) {
  data.push(makeRandomString(getRandomInt(20)));
}

Tests:

regex start
var x = 0; var TOTAL_STRINGS = window.TOTAL_STRINGS; var data = window.data; var regex = window.regexStart; var result = false; while (x < TOTAL_STRINGS) { const str = data[x]; result = result !== !!regex.test(str); x += 1; } console.log(result);
startsWith
var x = 0; var TOTAL_STRINGS = window.TOTAL_STRINGS; var data = window.data; var match = window.match; var result = false; while (x < TOTAL_STRINGS) { const str = data[x]; result = result !== str.startsWith(match); x += 1; } console.log(result);
regex end
var x = 0; var TOTAL_STRINGS = window.TOTAL_STRINGS; var data = window.data; var regex = window.regexEnd; var result = false; while (x < TOTAL_STRINGS) { const str = data[x]; result = result !== !!regex.test(str); x += 1; } console.log(result);
endsWith
var x = 0; var TOTAL_STRINGS = window.TOTAL_STRINGS; var data = window.data; var match = window.match; var result = false; while (x < TOTAL_STRINGS) { const str = data[x]; result = result !== str.endsWith(match); x += 1; } console.log(result);
indexOf start
var x = 0; var TOTAL_STRINGS = window.TOTAL_STRINGS; var data = window.data; var match = window.match; var result = false; while (x < TOTAL_STRINGS) { const str = data[x]; result = result !== (str.indexOf(match) === 0); x += 1; } console.log(result);
indexOf end
var x = 0; var TOTAL_STRINGS = window.TOTAL_STRINGS; var data = window.data; var match = window.match; var length = window.matchLength; var result = false; while (x < TOTAL_STRINGS) { const str = data[x]; result = result !== (str.indexOf(match) === str.length - length); x += 1; } console.log(result);
