not in all languages but in most of them indices start at zero because mathematematically it make sense, when computing the address of an array element... item 0 (first) is at same adress than array address, item 1 (second) is at array address + length of items type... so any index address could be computed as: array_address+(index*length_of_items_type) ^^
