Why array indexing start from 0 ?

Answer 1

"Should array indices start at 0 and 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, second consideration." - Stan Kelly-Bootle

Answer 2

It's an old tradition, but remember it derives from the BASE 10 number system where 0 will always be the first number to count from - in this modern day and for sometime now we tend to start counting from 1 ignoring poor old ZERO.

Base-10: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
