| Sep 26, 2011 at 20:21 | comment | added | Rook | If one looks at this list for example, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…, one will notice that most domain specific languages start indexing at 1, and most languages from cs school of thinking at 0. If one searches for a bit longer, he will notice that so many stupid discussions have been made on this subject, that it is probably pointless to try to talk any of the two to change their ways. In defend of "1", most people in the world use that one. Most programmers use "0". Most people don't understand programmers, so that makes you think ... | |

| Jul 25, 2010 at 15:14 | comment | added | Karthik Balaguru | In an n-element array, the element 'n' is not present . A n-element array has members which number from 0 to n-1 only. So, isn't it better if we have an array starting from 1 and so an n-element array actually represents the n elements present in the array. | |
