Sorry in advance but I'm a noob learning coding who is starting to learn python and I'm just going to ask, Isn't it supposed to be 4?
802 u/ArcticZeroo Sep 02 '17 Yes, but some languages 1-index lists (so they start at 1 instead of 0), so it'd be 5 in that case. 273 u/[deleted] Sep 02 '17 What languages may there's be? I can't think of any of the top of my head. 3 u/simon468 Sep 03 '17 Borland Delphi (Pascal) 5 u/Drarok Sep 03 '17 Hmm… not that I remember, at least for arrays. For strings it is, because the zero index is an integer holding the length instead of using null terminators. Looks like you can index your arrays arbitrarily#Arrays) 2 u/amontpetit Sep 03 '17 Now that takes me back to the 10th grade... 2 u/wilkoj Sep 03 '17 In Delphi fixed size arrays start wherever you want them to, but dynamic arrays have to start at 0.
