Wouldn't it be nice if documentation used the words index and offset consistently?
-
The problem is that they both are contextual and can mean any position in a list/array. The starting index or starting offset is generally zero, but could be one, depending on the language used.
-
i wonder why people haven’t made a language that starts indexing at 2 yet. maybe some day
-
Maybe this could be a feature in brainfuck or COBOL.
-
god i hope so
-
-
Dreamberd starts array indexing at -1 instead of 0 or 1.
-
what a beautiful language

Aren't those two the same thing? At least in C-style arrays, which might not be how they're handled under the hood, but is at least how most languages present it to the programmer.
-
Yes they are presented in the programmer wrong. The first thing in memory should have offset 0 and index 1
-
in my understanding offset is technically the "relative index", or how much you have to go further
