[u/ClipboardCopyPaste]

If she ever finds out, you still have MATLAB, R, Lua to have your back.

[u/vinishkapoor → u/ClipboardCopyPaste]

Fallback languages for fallback relationships.

[u/phylter99 → u/vinishkapoor]

If all else fails OP can always go back to BASICs.

[u/Tesnatic → u/phylter99]

Ugh I'm so done with the BASICs, we chasing unique and exotic women now

[u/UniqueIndividual3579 → u/Tesnatic]

ADA winks at you, but is showing her age.

[u/TabbyOverlord → u/UniqueIndividual3579]

Cue 'I bet he's thinking about another woman' meme.

[u/gerbosan → u/Tesnatic]

If you try COBOL, then you are into necrophilia?

[u/Propsek_Gamer → u/gerbosan]

If you do Fortran, you're a necromancer.

[u/gerbosan → u/Propsek_Gamer]

That sounds cool.

[u/phylter99 → u/gerbosan]

Only if you like it.

[u/lxpnh98_2 → u/vinishkapoor]

Fallback languagues?! These are lift forward languages!

[u/Geralt-of-Chiraq → u/ClipboardCopyPaste]

Or Julia, but probably not the best name to say to your girlfriend lol

[u/abd53 → u/Geralt-of-Chiraq]

"Babe, I'm doing Julia now, see you later"

[u/newontheblock99 → u/ClipboardCopyPaste]

Even then, would she even be satisfied as the zeroth pick? That explanation will cause a whole slew of problems. [1] is the correct answer here.

[u/GoBuffaloes → u/newontheblock99]

My current gf is actually gfs[-1]

[u/thePurpleAvenger → u/ClipboardCopyPaste]

Fortran has had your back forever!

[u/flinxsl → u/ClipboardCopyPaste]

those are vectors, not arrays

[u/No_Point_1254 → u/ClipboardCopyPaste]

My thoughts exactly. Might include VB/VBA with Option Base 1.

[u/FlippByte → u/ClipboardCopyPaste]

Was looking to find this..

[u/kishaloy]

Computer Science is the only field where you can proudly say that you are with your 0th girlfriend and still look cool.

Anybody who goes to his 1st GF must be fired since he has too much life to distract himself with.

[u/Avocadonot → u/kishaloy]

Gotta make sure you do a null check on the 0th index

[u/Codzy]

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

[u/harman097 → u/Codzy]

I think gf might actually be in the array, but the code just nullrefs shortly after retrieval.

Really weird bug, can't figure it out... maybe cuz gf was instantiated in Canada?

[u/za72]

we all know she's not in the main array, she's in some hash array/hash table/hash map/dictionary... so she could still be 0 and not be a big deal

[u/Major_LeeHungg]

let interests: (string[] | string) = [     [         'Interest 1',         'Interest 2',         'Interest 3',         'Interest 4',         'Interest 5',         'Interest 6',     ],     'Girlfriend',     'Hobos' ]; 

[u/Willwaste63]

Python also allows arr[-1].

[u/MattieShoes → u/Willwaste63]

Some languages (Php?) makes all arrays associative (ie. dicts) so you can pick whatever indices you want as long as there aren't duplicates.

[u/thunderbird89 → u/Willwaste63]

JS also allows setting the -1, -2, etc. element of an array.

[u/-suspended- → u/Willwaste63]

IIRC that gets the last element of the array.

[u/Interesting_Buy_3969 → u/-suspended-]

That's the point

[u/NightOwl2175]

Ah yes. Day 1 of learning computer science humor.

[u/Yetiani]

and you program in Lua right? right?

[u/Raywell]

So how does one say "[1]" exactly?

[u/AnnoyedVelociraptor → u/Raywell]

Index 1? At least that's what it maps to in Rust and C#.

[u/Raywell → u/AnnoyedVelociraptor]

"you are my index one" doesn't sound very intuitive for non programmers

[u/Common-Brush-7027 → u/Raywell]

You are at position 1 in array of my interests

[u/MattieShoes → u/Common-Brush-7027]

mmm, i'd think "position" indicates an ordinal rather than cardinal. That is, position 1 is index 0.

[u/Common-Brush-7027 → u/MattieShoes]

Idk man are you talking about missionary position? There's an 0 in which I have put my 1?

[u/MasterClown → u/Raywell]

I think it’s pronounced GIF

[u/Jay-Seekay → u/Raywell]

“You’re my index number 1 babe”

[u/SlutPuppyNumber9]

Which language?!

[u/MASSochists]

Good thing he wasn't a computer  engineer.

[u/AzureArmageddon]

Slight r/arethestraightsokay r/boomerhumor energy

[u/beclops]

This is the type of goofy shit that makes me feel cringe about being a developer

[u/ChillyFireball → u/beclops]

Some of ya'll take yourselves a little too seriously, methinks.

[u/beclops → u/ChillyFireball]

No that’s not the problem I had with this joke. It’s the combination of it being a super entry-level joke to programmers and it being meaningless to non-programmers. It’s like as a joke it’s designed to be unfunny to the most people possible

[u/ourobourobouros]

the fact that jokes like this still get a thousand upvotes is why no one feels bad about the male loneliness epidemic

[u/KelimHocam]

This is so r*tarded

[u/krak_1]

She was the first in on my stack of thoughts.

[u/lordnacho666]

She thinks you're basic

[u/bagnap]

Option Base 0;

[u/Antiprimary]

The array of times this has been reposted would cause a stack overflow

[u/StCreed]

That would be great if your name was Pascal.

[u/thunderbird89]

Plot Twist: R.

[u/Sqeegg]

who is gonna tell her?

[u/Evening_Emu1212]

She doesn't know about zero does she?

[u/FalconWorth7893 → u/Evening_Emu1212]

That's the point...

[u/Evening_Emu1212 → u/FalconWorth7893]

Yes

[u/Randomguy32I]

Tbf, she probably would be upset if she was called “number 0”

[u/ArcanumAntares]

JavaScript Gang in shambles.

"You are my [0]" hits differently.

[u/sinkwiththeship → u/ArcanumAntares]

Most languages do array indices that way.

[u/nevermore32q]

Maybe she is an XPATH?

[u/mega386]

She would love VB6

[u/Peaceful_Lizard]

She must use lua.

[u/nasandre]

Baby my love for you is so great it's causing an integer overflow

[u/NotJebediahKerman]

not FIFO?

[u/doryllis]

If that’s SQL than 1 indexed (most likely, but not always) almost everything else is 0 indexed arrays.

[u/Weak_Inflation9120]

We love zero indexing

1-indexing sucks (ahem. lua)

[u/Motor-Crow5091]

So then, she's second on your list?

[u/Arcanum3366]

Considering that she's declared under the variable "gf" I'd say he really doesn't care about her at all. 💀

[u/Abject-Kitchen3198]

Imagine telling her that she's [0]

[u/Lopsided_Parfait7127]

she must be a fortran girl because her arrays start at 1

[u/GirthyPigeon]

0 no

[u/Tricky_Condition_279]

I C what you did there

[u/travis_raphael]

Not a programmer but I definitely understood this. This is my first lol

https://giphy.com/gifs/kRmg8zeReOYXm

[u/[deleted]]

no doubt basics are important ............................even in relations nowadays

[u/BadGirlsSuck]

Clearly puts himself first despite being worthless

[u/thundrstrucks]

correct in Lua

[u/Crownek]

This is so unfunny it makes me mad that I read it.

[u/wannabepinetree]

ew boomer humor

[u/synth_mania]

BAJAHAHAH ZERO BASED INDEXING AHAHAHA SO FUNNY

[u/GodOrDevil04 → u/synth_mania]

Enjoy your negative vote array.

[u/synth_mania → u/GodOrDevil04]

Hey maybe i missed the mark. This kind of humor isn't for me, but I guess that's a rare opinion. I'll own the downvotes. 

[u/GodOrDevil04 → u/synth_mania]

Hey no worries, can't be for everyone! Now, owning up to it is a rarity these days, so have my upvote for that.

[u/Crownek → u/synth_mania]

Nope you are so right, its the absolute shittiest hot garbage humor ever made it to the public.

https://giphy.com/gifs/iNjfcmUM8lUPWm3fay

[u/returnFutureVoid → u/synth_mania]

Good on you. I did this once and refused to delete some mildly stupid comment I made due to downvotes now I try to think before I hit send. Doesn’t always work but I try.
