Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh then I suppose you'll be claiming you have nine fingers?
10 fingers. The index of the last one is 9. ))

Do not confuse the number of elements with their indexation.

OK, let's say you were asked to name the fingers on your hand

what would you call them?

Zero one two...

or would you call them...

first second third... ?

Isn't it obvious that it's more convenient to have the same number as the index?

Thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger. Before that we indicate the hand (left/right). ;))

And if one has six fingers?))

In the programming world, it's more convenient when the index is one less than the number of elements. I think it is an unfortunate idea to project concepts from life into the programming world.
 

For some reason, houses on streets are numbered from 1

floors in buildings (usually) from 1

rooms with 1

Why are warrants numbered from 0?

 
Dima_S:
What if someone has six fingers?)
Come up with a name for the sixth one. )))
 
Dima_S:
And what if one has six fingers?))

(chuckles)
Errrr then I suppose you will claim that you have nine fingers on your hand?

Nah, everyone has eleven fingers:

Counting on the first hand from the end: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6;

Counting on the second hand from the beginning: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5;

Add fingers on first and second hand: 6 + 5 = 11.

That was to be proved. A man has eleven fingers on his hand.

 

This unnecessary technogeneity only creates confusion.

it's like an anecdote

there are 10 categories of people - those who use the binary system and those who don't

why don't they write EAs in assembly language at all?
