What to call array indexing starting at 0 vs. 1 ?
-
Is there a technical term to say if an array starts at index 0 (e.g. C/C++) or 1 (e.g. pascal) ? Is it simply "0-based array" and "1 based array" ? Thanks.
I'd rather be phishing!
I believe the correct terms are right and wrong.

Zero based or one based.

"proper" and "annoying" respectively.

That's about right.

Pascal allows you to specify the range. And with OOP you can define a class that implements arbitrary indexing, e.g.
new MyArray ( -5 , 10 ). -

In a separate millenium I wrote a 1 based C++ string class - I think that was the best argument for zero based code I've ever seen.

The term is "array", and they start at index 0. There's a difference when talking about strings, not arrays.
