Forced 0-based arrays come from Satan's computer.

array = [null, "first", "second", "third", "fourth"]

print(array[1]) => "first"

Are these Redditors possessed by Satan or is it merely poor education?

No war, just an incorrect answer. You are technically retarded if you think arrays start with 1.

I've never met a person nor used a programming language that opted for 1-indexed arrays. What war?

So I've been in college for programming the past three years, last semester I only took one class. The class was about the analysis of algorithms and he started his array indexing at 1. To avoid getting questions wrong I had to put myself in the mind set of arrays starting at one and it kills me because it's habit I now can't break and I cringe Everytime I do it

Ones that should be burnt with napalm. As I recall in the dim and distant past it was more common and luckily more things have standardised now

"Array Index starts at 1", Doc: Oh you're retarded!

"some languages" don't even qualify. Fuck those languages

And those languages are wrong

According to C and C-esqs, yes
According to every shit programming language made by a college student and is less that 4 years old, no.

It's not trivial. Something happened to their minds that killed their ability to learn and understand things.

Those quotes in >>7 sound more like people who need an exorcist than university students.
