I've heard a lot of arguments in favour of starting at 1 and as a "start at 0" person, I'm starting to question my beliefs and am as confused as I was at 3 am when I saw my cat piss from inside her litter box onto the parquet flooring and then slip on it.
Not indexing at zero seems like a waste of a perfectly good integer.
Yea ther is a big difference between indexing and counting
Element 0 is the first element of the list
