Another idiot confusing continuous measure (time) with counting discrete units

If it helps: you have one whole array element only if one year has passed

What are you trying to do: do you want to know where each element starts, or do you want to measure the total sum/accumulated amount?

Array elements are not a continuous measure. Level of water, for example, is.

The mark on your measure tape corresponds to the total sum/amount.

If you count from zero, number of elements no longer corresponds to the size/length. So already here you deviate away from your tape principle.

You have one whole element when your tape measure shows 1, not zero.

It guessed right, but it does not go by the accent, but by pronunciation of certain consonants. You can fake/simulate the former, but not the latter.

Someone made a comment that millennials are the first and last generation who grew up with desktop PCs, discussion forums on the raw internet. Kids these days are mostly using smartphones, tablets and apps.

We are used to think that younger people know more about computers, but in the case of desktop computers this might not be the case.
