What to call array indexing starting at 0 vs. 1 ?
-
Zero based or one based.

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.

"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.

Standard & Mutant ? why was Pascal 1 based? anyone know if Delphi is has one based arrays as it might explain some error generated by a test application I have to use?
