How come your fucking pseudo code is far more complex than python code? You're a fucking university teacher FFS, ALSO TELL ME WHY THE FUCK YOU START YOUR INDEX LIST BY 1.

I've been argued that starting your indices on one (in 0 indexed system) can save you a line of code or two in certain situations. So the debate becomes do you save more memory by having one empty chunk, or by loading in the additional lines which use one less chunk in memory
