I’m more of an RFC 3339 kinda guy

The real reason she won't call back.

This is a language dependent semantic difference.

I'll see myself out

§6.7.9 of the C11 standard says they have elements with indices:

If an array of unknown size is initialized, its size is determined by the largest indexed element with an explicit initializer. The array type is completed at the end of its initializer list.

I think you got that backwards sport. Index implies direct access but offset implies traversal.

Says who?

By definition, an index is

a number or symbol or expression (such as an exponent) associated with another to indicate a mathematical operation to be performed or to indicate use or position in an arrangement

Since the arrays offsets alao tell us about the items’s position in the array, is it not then an index?

People take these terms way too seriously. Hell, many languages have their “list” implemented as an array. What then do you call the index/offset?

Her name was Lua as well

I was too late to make the Lua joke, damn

If your math uses numbers it's not real math.

I shall not lower myself to use the newfangled Mathematical inventions of the Arabs and instead keep doing Mathematics like the Romans!

In economics, many indices start at 100.

And R

So you're saying she's BASIC?

fucked anyway

It's useful though. It's more of a point when it doesn't work.

Anyway, there only one thing better than a sensible solution, and that's a standard.

MATLAB, Julia, R, Fortran, Lua.

Imo the real point of contention is column vs row major ordering in matrices. Actually so cursed trying to move between languages.
