Lol sorry but if you read it, Dijkstra's argument for 0-based indexing is literally that it looks prettier... I really wonder if anyone who has posted that link

Lol sorry but if you read it, Dijkstra's argument for 0-based indexing is literally that it looks prettier... I really wonder if anyone who has posted that link ever read the actual argument and thought about it critically.
- jampekka 3y agoHe gives various reasons and practical examples for it.
- kelipso 3y agoOne can give analogous reasons (literally his main reason is it looks nicer lol) and practical examples that looks nicer in 1-based indexing too. It's a terrible argument that somehow got memed over way too long a time. Probably because no one needs to read the text, just post the link and you're done.
