How often do these get you?
Why can't computers just count up from 1 like people? 0 isn't even a number. If it was, we'd have 11 fingers.
Don't trust me near your arrays or offsets. I always get them wrong.
Plenty of algorithms wouldn't even work if your array indices started from 1.
Not that often, since I'm used to 0 indexed arrays. But you can always use Fortan, OP.

Good bait

I sometimes embed obvious bait in my posts to get free bumps.
Idiots will either take the bait or think they cleverly saw through my rouse and say "nice bait", which help keep my thread alive. While anyone who has a brain or useful input will just ignore it and add to the topic.
It's a system that's been working quite well for me. I'm glad you enjoyed being a part of it.

tl;dr They can, but starting from zero is good for many reasons.

But we INDEX starting from zero.
The first hour in a day is 12:00 (=0 mod 12) to 12:59, not 1 to 1:59
The first century is 001 to 099, not 100-199.
By ignoring 0, you are stupider than the humans 1500 years ago who invented it. The discovery of zero is one of humanity's milestone achievements.

Wow, and people get mad at me when I say computer science majors (not that you are one) are clinically retarded.

>the programming language i use doesn't support the definition of the array start index
nigga, even on pascal you can define an array to be [3..69]
stop using baby-shit programming languages

Reminds me of a korean friend of mine, who told me in korea the age counter starts from 1 instead of 0. When you're born, you're 1. When she goes back to korea she's 1 year older.
I get off by one errors all the time. I just happen to know how to use software debugging tools to find out what I need to know.

If 0 was a number we'd have 9 fingers.
