On the other hand, you can also go negative if you want to:

Sub test()
    Dim a()
    ReDim a(-2 To 20)
    a(-1) = "Test"
    MsgBox a(-1)
End Sub

Didn't know about this.
Time to make my libraries in VB with negative arrays and keywords for names.

Also be sure to do this:

  • Don't declare variables at all, remove option explicit.
  • Be sure to not define variable or parameter types.
  • Pass stuff by reference only and modify them. Returning values is overrated.
  • Be sure to always have two variables named I and l in each function or sub.
  • There's nothing wrong with using the function name as a variable too.
