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!

"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.

I only have seen that in the Intellisense popup of some .NET function. Intellisense is all the documentation that I need. :laugh:
