Forgive me if I'm on the wrong thread for this observation.. but some people
have used an example
Number of children in a house hold.
0: 3
1: 5
2: 6
3: 1
4: 4
As an example of zero based indexing.
I just think this is a little wrong.
What I think you have here, is a number of categories. The first is zero
children, the second is 1 Child.....
It may be easy to program it into a zero based index. But the storage method
does not reflect on the information the data represents.
I think this idea is missing from current idea of converstiom.
A Series! is basically an abstract data type.
If you want to use zero based indexing.. Write your on abstract data type.
p.s I also like being able not to write subract length? list 1 every time I
write a for loop.
He he ha ha he hoo ooo he.... ( Gives up fanactical laughing as he realises
it his last day at work and won't be getting paid next month....)
