What makes you think people who 0-index arrays and prefer half-open intervals count any differently? Is this argument directed at a four year old? 4+1=5 never

4+1=5 never enters into it. What a rubbish argument. I might as well complain that your [a,b] has (b-a+1) integers in it. (5-0)=5 so the half open interval has 5 things in it.
What's the measure of a real interval 1<=x<=5? 4. 0<=x<5? 5.
- TweedHeads 17y agoDon't try your cheap tricks on me. We go from 1 to 5, so the math would be 5-1 +1 You go from 0 to 4, the math would be the same, 4-0 +1 Using 5 as your upper bound, then starting from 0 to 4 is the same as me using 6 as my upper bound then going from 1 to 5.
