Side note regarding humans: I was in a hotel in France that referred to the ground floor as "floor zero" in their elevator. The only time I've ever seen zero used to count something IRL.
- tshaddox 5y agoThis is actually a decent way to demonstrate why zero-indexing for arrays makes sense. If your friend gives you instructions to their apartment “go to the elevator in the lobby and go up 3 floors,” which button do you press in the elevator?
- yunohn 5y agoI don’t follow? Even in your specific example, it would be +3 to whatever floor the elevator says you’re currently on. Though, usually people refer to the exact floor number per the elevator signs.
