@o_guest all valid, but I prefer starting at 1. -
@jtth Maths/compsci is not about personal preference -
@jtth like it's genuinely going to mess you up when you have to dump matlab. -
@jtth it's like saying you prefer computers that usesbase10 instead of 2 and then nothing works cos all maths is binary for a reason eg CRC -
@o_guest ? I get the arguments for why it’s useful in some languages, but there is no 0th ordinal number. -
@jtth in computer science there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0th -
@o_guest that’s just a norm though; better arguments here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering …. Both useful. -
@jtth sorry but I have to disagree categorically on teaching people something maladaptive like that. Just because I can cope or you can cope - 24 more replies
