I must be getting old because I almost wish they didn't add this as it's slightly ambiguous whether it's ranging from [0, 10) or [1, 10] and anything ambiguous

I must be getting old because I almost wish they didn't add this as it's slightly ambiguous whether it's ranging from [0, 10) or [1, 10] and anything ambiguous is probably going to haunt me at 3am some day
- cwbriscoe 3y agoI always just assume it is consistent to whether arrays start at [0] or [1] on whichever language I am working on.
- everybodyknows 3y agoInterestingly, this does not raise any error, rather has no effect. for i := range -10 { panic(i) }
- ctz 3y ago"yes, please run this loop minus 10 times" - statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
- maximus-decimus 3y agoBack in my days, you had to do it this way for i := 0; i <=-10; i++{ panic }
- lpribis 3y agoBack in my day you would do for (size_t i = 0; i < -10; i++) { panic } And it would panic 18446744073709551606 times.
- tptacek 3y agoSure, presumably for the same reason a C-style for loop wouldn't do anything weird there either.
- shakow 3y ago> anything ambiguous is probably going to haunt me at 3am some day Man, I hope you never wondered how ERRNO behaves with CGo or that you didn't miss to update any initialization of that struct you recently added a new field to, that haunts me at 3AM.
- konart 3y agoIt iterates 10 times staring with 0, seems pretty clear that the result is [0,10).
