Ahem:
OPTION BASE 0Bam, Qbasic AND Visual Basic has 0 based arrays.

As we used to say when I was a little kid: "Zero the hero, first the worst."

Isn’t zero the same in base-2 as it is in base-10? Wouldn’t first place be 1, second place be 10, and third place 11?

This is about indexes starting at 0, not about binary.

Gotcha. I guess that’s the difference between programmer humor and computer architect humor.
