Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the starting index (or subscript) of an array in most common programming languages. The correct answer reflects the convention used in languages like C, C++, Java, and Python.
Answer
The first subscript in an array is usually 0, but it can be 1 in some languages.
In most programming languages, the first subscript in an array is always 0. However, some languages may use 1 as the starting index.
Answer for screen readers
In most programming languages, the first subscript in an array is always 0. However, some languages may use 1 as the starting index.
More Information
Array indices typically start at 0, a convention known as zero-based indexing which is used in many popular languages like C, C++, Java, and Python. Some languages, such as Fortran and MATLAB, use 1 as the starting index.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming all arrays start at index 1. Always check the language's documentation to confirm the starting index.
