When you start learning python and you always forgot that all start by 0 (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

guessing this is your first language, everything starts from 0 excluding matlab

@RazorSh4rk yes this is the first so after I will know that all start by 0

@RazorSh4rk what's matlab and why do you comment every post I see :0

@DrSwift lol got used to it very quickly

@RazorSh4rk yes this is the first so after I will know that all start by 0

@bcye oh ok Nice !

And SQL!! Anything indexable (e.g. character position, row indexes) all start at 1 in SQL. Just to mess with you.

@CrankyOldDev it is good to know

@bcye matlab is ABSOLUTE INSANE YAAAY i love matrices *-*

also i spend a lot of time on devrant

Lua arrays start at 1... For some reason.

@bcye Matlab is a programming language that is geared towards matrix math (the name is meant to ?mean matrix labratory) and has evolved into a language for all of science, applied math and engineering. I personally prefer Mathematica over Matlab :)

I actually have a project written in matlab that is quite poorly coded in terms of efficency and definitely needs a rewrite but it does work as intended. https://github.com/alexanderepstein...

Basically it used a matrix method called singular value decomposition to compress images. There are many other applications for svd but this is one of them. I guess what im trying to say is if you are new to programing make sure to learn as much math as possible.

As a bonus discrete math (some simple logic math) for software for hardware you can learn digital logic (more advanced logic stuff involving circuits) would be good to learn :)

it really depends on what you want to do i think. By default, most languages start at 0. You can make it start at 1 if you want, by making a "ghost" node.

Eiffel also starts at 0, anoyed the hell out of me, when I had to use it at university, comming from a PHP/Java background

@Wack You mean 1*? Never heard that PHP nor Java start at 1.

@JoshBent damn. Yeah ment Eifel starts at 1.
