Definitely 0 indexed.
I am of the opinion that 1 indexing is crazy. The only advantage of 1 indexing is that your last index is equal to your element count, and I could never understand why anybody thinks that is an advantage anyway ;) |

I have no preference, but I'm wondering - why do you prefer 0 indexing? _________________ Working on rain and cloud formation |

My goddess demands it as a religious observance.
No, actually, the math for folding a 1-d array into an n-d array is simpler when you zero-index. |

All but two of my goddesses proclaim GOTO as mandatory.
Also, object-oriented programming is considered a form of idolatry. _________________ Working on rain and cloud formation |

QB/FB strings are 1-indexed (even though arrays are 0-indexed) and that frustrates me horribly.
Everything else in the OHR (expect for strings.... arrrgghhh!!) is already 0-indexed.
Strings are also arrays, and most of the old string functions will become obsolete, so in effect strings will change to 0-indexed. _________________ "It is so great it is insanely great." |

Will floating point come with the new interpreter?
I may have just hit an integer-roundoff-error-wall in my cloud simulations. _________________ Working on rain and cloud formation |

There's little you can't do with fixed point arithmetric. Recall von Neumann said floating point was for lazy programmers ;)
That said, yes, floating point will be in the new interpreter. In fact right now it's practically the only thing implemented. _________________ "It is so great it is insanely great." |

Yeah, I actually think I thought of a work around as of a few days ago :-) _________________ Working on rain and cloud formation |

Yeah, the spam robots have been pummeling castleparadox today :(
I'm sure InferiorMinion will clean-up the latest batch of them as soon as he notices. |
