CPU0 would disagree, for example. A non technical person might be forgiven for thinking a system that says CPU0 has no CPUs, when in fact it has one, again, for example. Many logical objects start their enumeration at zero and increment from there. There are four rings of operation in Intel CPUs, but they are labeled ring 0 through 3.
- akvadrako 7y agoI’m sorry but you don’t understand what number base means https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix Nothing to do with starting number. And base 0/base 1 makes no sense.
- burnte 7y agoI'm sorry, but you clearly haven't heard of unary, or base 1, which is probably the earliest counting system which 1 is 1, 2 is 11, 3 is 111, etc. Tallymarks. You are correct base 0 would make no sense, however. But yes please explain to me the very thing we're talking about which is exactly what I was referencing when pointing out that using 0 as an identifier rather than a value is moderately counterintuitive.
