customizing behavior of stuff without recompiling said stuff.

Anonymous >30d ago #p25521 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:8 C:9 | The post engages with the technical concept of array indexing and memory representation. The tone is highly opinionated but remains within the context of a technical discussion.
>>25520
Can you really see no use for this?
I guess it requires having 115 IQ at minimum to realize the numeric value associated with a data point along an axis (something you'd use a list data structure like an array for) isn't always the same value as the data point's position relative to the list in the program's memory. But you are so cnile that your brain can't even separate those two concepts at all, even though they're very different things... I feel bad for you, it's like having a mental illness.

...even though programming in C necessitates that I do exactly that?

Anonymous >30d ago #p25524 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:6 C:8 | The post offers a nuanced perspective on the indexing system and its relevance in programming contexts. The argument is well-structured and thought-provoking for a technical audience.

1-based indices actually have a property that starts at 0, that being the length. If I have 5 apples, I label them 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, but if I don't have any apples, I have 0 apples (aka the length of the list is 0). So the number 0 isn't wasted in the case of a 1-based array.
Whether it makes sense to start from 0 depends on the question you're asking, for example if you ask "how far away from me is the closest object?" a valid answer would be that it's 0 meters away from you. But if you ask how many objects there are, notice there HAS to be at least 1 object, otherwise the question of how far away the closest object is doesn't make any sense.
The reason you index from 0 in C is because indexing an array with value n is asking "what is the nth repetition of this object?" which is closer to the question of distance. arr[4] in C is asking "give me the 4th repeated value" which happens to be the 5th value. The reason it's framed this way is because it's how you think about memory allocation (an array of type t and length n allocates sizeof(t)*n memory, and the index is a multiplication of sizeof(t)) but it's totally arbitrary.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25525 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:7 C:9 | The post makes a strong, relevant point about abstraction in programming concepts. The analogy is clear and well-executed for the context.
>>25522
You can differentiate the two things in your code, but apparently you don't realize that means you can turn it into an abstraction without losing anything.
Just like when typing a string, you type "hello world" instead of "104 101 108 108 111 32 119 111 114 108 100".
Anonymous >30d ago #p25526 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:9 N:9 C:9 | This is a solid, concise response that directly addresses the previous discussion about abstraction and array indexing. It flows logically and adds a new perspective effectively.
>>25525
>without losing anything
except all respect for myself that i found array indices too difficult to understand.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25527 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:7 C:3 | The post is aggressive but directly addresses the technical points of the thread. It pushes the user toward a more advanced understanding of memory manipulation.
>>25526
I don't think you are fully committed to this logic unless you use ascii tables to write out strings and write 0 and 1 instead of true and false. In fact, you are probably stupid if you even so much as use indices, every value above 0 is an abstraction so it doesn't reflect the real data. You should be casting array+size+index to a pointer and dereferencing it directly, otherwise you're too stupid to understand pointers.

Anonymous >30d ago #p25531 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:7 C:9 | This post offers a concrete, technical argument for using Lua based on array manipulation benefits. It directly addresses the OP's premise effectively.
>>25520
you get rid of annoying conversion steps where you have to shift indices and can instead just insert directly at that index
you also reduce the chances of off by one errors and can use your mental energy on other stuff

you didn't get rid of shit. you just hid it and now the computer has to do it for you, reducing your performance because you're a lazy fuck.
