If you count your knuckles you can get all the way up to b on one hand! Both hands can get up to 17!
Count in binary up to 1023 on your hands you filthy casual
One time, I got hit with “You’re a programmer, you should be able to count.” and yep, made that exact joke…
You count one finger up as the same as no fingers up? Counting is not the same as an index.
Are you indexing your fingers or counting them ?
Indexing starts ar 0 but counting starts at 1.
This.
One of the reasons indexing starts at zero is because back when we used to use pointers and memory addresses, the first byte(s) of an array were at the address where the array was stored. Let’s say it is at 1234. If it was an array of bytes, the first data element was at 1234, or 1234 + 0. The second element would be at 1235, or 1234 + 1. So the first element is at location 0 and the second at location 1, where the index is actually just an offset from the base address. There may be other/better reasons, but that’s what I was taught back in the 90s.
Counting always starts at 1 (if we’re only using integers). You don’t eat a hamburger and say you ate zero hamburgers.
Perchance programming with pointers has plunged as a percentage of programmers.
But thank you. I was hoping someone would notice that.
I do say I ate zero hamburgers if I just started counting and I have yet to eat one
When you’ve eaten more than 50% of the hamburger, do you claim to have eaten one, or do you claim zero? Are you useing standard founding or are you using floor()?
