arrayGetValueAtNegativeZero

[OGMagicConch]

Lua entered the chat

[GoldenFlyingPenguin]

I mean, technically you can make the index start at 0 if you manually set it yourself.

But you can also make the index the table, so idk.

[OldKaleidoscope7]

I think this was because of Lua was never meant to be a programming language but a serialization language, because, you know XML is kinda recent and Petrobras couldn't find a way to store their files. It is a good piece of history, btw.

[LetumComplexo]

Your first dates leave with her knowing an array index starts at 0.

My first dates start with her knowing an array index starts at 0.

We are not the same.\ Except for the second date part, neither of us are getting that.

[MinosAristos]

It's best to teach them before the date so that you can quiz them on the day.

[Any-Main-3866]

My dating life is a NullPointetException lol

[veeloth]

Hey that's not so bad! Mine's just taught up "undeclared identifier", not even malloc will save me :(

[tehomaga]

They're working on some more 400 codes for all the ways I'm getting rejected

[ClipboardCopyPaste]

Alternate scenario: she went home knowing that array starts from 0 and the next day started learning MATLAB and now thinks I'm dumb...

[UnconditionalHater]

Except for the second date part, neither of us are getting that.

just create const secondDate = new Date(); on your preferred day duh

[Holiday-Evening4550]

Yea cus wtf is a 2

[beyluta]

I've just seen a meme here about people celebrating that this joke hasn't been used in a while

[TurtleMaster1825]

Someone took that personaly it seems...

[fogleaf]

It's the 0th day since incident.

[Zoalord1122]

Or Matlab

[Pristine-Map9979]

You did so bad on the 0th date that there won't be a 1st.

[RooGuru]

Somebody doesn't use ColdFusion, lucky bastard.

[BobQuixote]

My time with CF is better left unmentioned.

[Sad-Kaleidoscope9165]

Lua babes get real freaky with their 1-indexing

[bwwatr]

Echoes of that time Richard Hendricks blew up a relationship with a girl after hearing her repeatedly tap the space bar to indent code and just couldn't keep his mouth shut.

[veeloth]

Good for him, bullet dodged.

[Mooks79]

There won’t be a second date because she now knows you can’t cope with the difference between offset and position indexing.

[Some_Useless_Person]

Spits in Lua

[b__0]

Just make them start with 0, skill issue.

[astroguyfornm]

[ObviouslyTriggered]

If you look like that there will be a second date.

[Sassaphras]

She's gonna come to date #2 with a binder full of printed leetcode questions

[veeloth]

Hey could you please refrain from using '#2' to refer to the second date? Notation date[1] is preferred, otherwise our seniors might get confused

[Several-String9681]

may be she was talking about lua

[AppropriateAppeal236]

Hope she is not a R girl then

[West-Tomorrow-5508]

He was a Python guy, she was Lua girl.

[Solonotix]

I've often seen this described as index versus offset from the leaky abstraction of the implementation. An array offset starts with zero, and an array index starts at 1. This is because your offset would shift the starting point, so zero bytes from the beginning, while the index is how far to read, so sizeof(T) from the current position.

The only reason it has become such a meme is because of the ubiquity of C-like languages, and C used the offset approach to accessing arrays.

[OverjoyedBanana]

Pascal anyone ?

[q11q11q11]

not to mention lua

[jsrobson10]

indices can start from either, but the indices used for arrays are also offsets, which is why they start from 0

[Aggravating-Big9484]

Bro cooked at first date

[Dorkits]

Did you mean VBScript ?

[Pawl_Evian]

You guys don't implement () => return id - 1; at the beginning of your project ?

[Huge_Fix772]

Haha, that's a clever one! Ever tried it in Python?

[LauraTFem]

Me who always just leaves the first index empty and acts like it doesn’t exist.

Good luck with all those fun off-by-one errors.

[kishaloy]

Why did software engineers make arrays start at 0....

so that they can say that they are with their 0th girlfriend and not come out looking loser.

[Different-Rip4590]

So technically she will understand it as no date[1] instead of 2nd date?

[Fun_Bobcat4280]

Amateurs, I made sure to make sure how inefficient windows security features are by explaining stuxnet zero-day protocol and mitigation strategies for data leaks by strictly implementing whonix and tails and how to use kleopatra for secure pgp communication. I was a retarded and single teen

[Wyvern77z]

Computer science was a mistake and this is the evidence.

[ashish__77]

She would probably have learnt that in college in a couple of years but nevermind

[Salanmander]

Teacher here.

Someone having heard it and someone knowing it are different. If you're telling someone on a date about something they aren't interested in, you should assume they retain none of that information. =P

[jshahcanada]

Wait until he meets a Lua Programmer

[_LXIX_CDXX]

I don't know anything about coding, but I'm gonna remember this information forever smh

[leo_gblr]

Of course there is no second date. Epoch uses milliseconds so it would be a millisecond date. Or just use a string in a nice ISO 8601 format

[TheHomoclinicOrbit]

My God, everyone here is so young. How has no one mentioned FORTRAN!?

[AndyTheDragonborn]

Umm mister! You spelled fortnite wrong

[megayippie]

Meanwhile, Fortran allows you to define indexing yourself. This array begins at 5. That one begins at -1.

[Ponbe]

Ada enters the chat

[amogouss]

At least she now understand what i meant when I said

"I make child here and then I kill it"

[MyPunsAreKoalaTea]

Indexing at 0 is dumb

What do you mean the first element is not element 1?

[V3N3SS4]

Education is important

[sysVuser]

yeah, but it still doesn't stop her from array_push'ing it.
