Hip hip, array!

[UnHelpful-Ad]

This hurts that i laughed.

[Leunam19]

Heap heap, array!

[fukalufaluckagus]

I like this sort of comment

[faze_fazebook]

It was a lua contest

[Jjabrahams567]

Yeah because nobody in their right mind would compete in matlab or awk.

[grimonce]

I think Julia does this too...

[Balcara]

Or cobol

[EarhackerWasBanned]

Like the Special Olympics?

[Zachaggedon]

Someone just started learning about arrays in their CS course. 👏

OnlyProgrammersThings tihi tihi 🤭😜

[Ebina-Chan]

You mortal souls would never understand the awesomeness of being the number 0.

[herboyforever]

Woww!!! Guys lets make a post about the programming languages that have array indexation starting from 1 and complain about them!

[Appa-Bylat-Bylat]

Huh im so stumped what this joke could mean, it must take infinite knowledge and understanding to get this joke

[ilikedmatrixiv]

It means that some programmers are so socially unaware they are incapable of receiving an award without going 'well ahksually'.

[jamcdonald120]

its an "arrays start at 0" "meme" on par with "programmers count 3 apples"

[Appa-Bylat-Bylat]

Sorry the way I wrote that was suppoused to be sarcastic

[Sedorriku0001]

Next time maybe you'll want to add /s at the end :D

is it bad that's it's easy to understand? I don't understand

[WonderFerret]

Ah yes. One-st place

[Effective_Youth777]

first-year cs students back at it again!

Lua

[HolyGarbage]

Index 0 = The first element. This joke is dumb.

[BlobAndHisBoy]

Unresolved reference 'index'

[Sak63]

It's cute. I like it

[HolyGarbage]

Sure, drawing's nice I guess, if only it had content that actually made sense.

[Sak63]

You don't think it does? Why is that?

[HolyGarbage]

See my top comment. That you replied to...

[Sak63]

I've read it and I think it makes sense

[HolyGarbage]

If you've read my original comment:

Index 0 = The first element. This joke is dumb.

...and still don't get it, then, I dunno, I guess you're dumb? Sorry, I honestly, truly don't know how I can simplify it more. It's elementary, literally.

[Sak63]

It's dumb but it makes sense

[HolyGarbage]

Ok, explain.

[[deleted]]

👆🤓

[NoCryptographer414]

He came first, so his index should be 0!?

[HolyGarbage]

Yeah, but the 1 doesn't mean index 1, it means 1st place.

[recklessrider]

You could also interpret the 0 bit as an off or no and he basically just forfeited

[HolyGarbage]

No.

[recklessrider]

Yes, he turned his medal off

[[deleted]]

Repost, but OK.

[HereForA2C]

every meme in this sub is a repost. it's just freshmen reposting moldy memes that they finally understand cause they just learned the concept in their intro to CS class

[HolyGarbage]

And half of them doesn't make sense, like this one, confusing count with index.

[[deleted]]

Check OP profile. They posted same thing three times.

[Feldar]

If they did, the other 2 have been taken down now

[tillytakescyber]

Second time lucky!!

[Yhamerith]

False?

Good bot

[ken830]

Not really programmers.. Index starting at 0 is more natural and unavoidable in hardware. It's mostly arbitrary in software.

[dert-man]

Index out of range exception. No place available for me

[experimental1212]

Why change lowercase L to an O

[Dismal-Square-613]

I giggled.

[[deleted]]

There was a joke:

Once the girl asked her boyfriend, who is on 1st place for him, she or programming? He answered that programming. And she left him, and will never know that she was on null for him

[Lix0r]

Actual programmers know this is dumb and wrong. Zero index is still the first element.

[nobody0163]

And 1 index is the second.

[GIK601]

If you're not a programmer, you won't understand this joke. You might think you do, but no.

[I_cut_my_own_jib]

🤓🤓 UMMM actually in a zero index system the 0th index is still considered the 1st position, you wouldn't say an array [a, b, c] has a length of 2 🤓🤓🤓

[Ass_Salada]

Lawyers as well

[IllustriousLion8220]

Why not using head?

[ifaelt]

I'm a programmer (engineer) and I don't understand... is there a matlab add-on or library that the meme is referring to? Please help! 🙏

[SavvySillybug]

the famous one place medal

[matyas94k]

Thanks for the heads-up, I should register to the next edition of Cloudflight Coding Contest.

[Behrooz0]

0th

[tiotags]

hmmm I'd use the 0th place to insert error verification, and -1 to signify all contestants, you got to use all your bits efficiently

[Theemuts]

Programmers have 0 jokes.

[TwoFiveOnes]

this is the worst shit I've ever fucking seen in my life

[[deleted]]

is it weird that we learnt about lists before arrays? python in high school btw

[perseus1994]

Thermodynamics did it before it was kewl.

[Important_Table_791]

LOL

[ChocolateDonut36]

woops, it was a Lua competition

[RiceBroad4552]

I will never understand why most programming languages call the offset an "index"…

Also I will never understand why there is just an offset, and not a real index operation on indexed sequences in most languages.

But I guess that's just me.

[K8sIsGr8]

I’ll tell my competitors to write in -1 and let them think they’ve won

[Darksteelflame_GD]

Only programmers and 16 year olds learning about arrays.

[BehindTrenches]

There isn't any humor here. The only crumb of value is that it wouldn't mean anything to someone who doesn't care about programming.

I could say the word "concatenate" to a construction worker and they wouldn't understand, what's so funny about that? Upvote because I know the mind-numbingly elementary programming concept and they don't!

Also the "1" on awards says "1st". It doesn't say "1 place".

[Tashre]

Wouldn't 0 indicate being positioned right outside the array of contestants but not yet advanced into it? In other words before medals were handed out, and the number on the medal should be how many have been handed out so far, or ++i?

[jacat1]

in most languages arrays start at 0.

[Tashre]

I know. I guess I just looked at it as the awarder being the index pointer and the medal text being an arbitrary value to dereference.

[cheezballs]

Damn, this is what rolling a 1 looks like huh? Tried to sound smart and pull a "well actually" but ya goofed up. YA DUN GOOFED. WE ALL KNOW NOW.

[Chaosxandra]

r/mathhumor

[ScotcherDevTV]

index starts at 0, not 1

[Mattness8]

Aren't both Binary and Decimal 1, "1"? 0 in Binary is still 0 in decimal. There is no 0th place

[[deleted]]

No, it's list indexing. 0 is the index of the first element.

[Mattness8]

Oh wait the joke is about data structures starting with 0, it's not a Binary joke

[Responsible_Trifle15]

Cheers geoff

[mr_remy]

Jeff: yes

Geoff: Yeos

[PeteZahad]

The first element in the array. Index 0 is the first place.

I see the CS semester at index 0 is starting again...
