Indexing Particulars
vIn everyday indexing, it is common to begin the indexing with 1,
e.g. May 1, SuperBowl I, Elizabeth I
vThe number at which
indexing begins is its origin
vSome computer
languages use 1 as the origin, but others, including Visual Basic 6.0, use 0
as the index origin. (Gripe: a decent language lets you decide, but
whatever.)
