I've noticed this pattern as well. To truly comprehend its significance, we should probably first determine what the denominator and numerator represe...

Interesting, i think similarly (time has primacy over space) that the 0-dimensional point is the void, but not a volumetric one. I didn't get into it ...

Very interesting, and thank you. A couple more things i could say: A core belief of mine is that the totality of the universe is mathematical and comp...

Thank you Proof! Your comment is helpful. Regarding the mystical aspect, when you really think about it, physics at its foundation appears quite mysti...

Ok, but what do you consider the value of the initial unknown variable 'A' to be? Is it 0 or is it some other initial value?

The ground is considered zero at every and any point you select on the ground line or level, and the rest of the terrain is measured relative to your ...

I agree, and i'm glad to know we share a common point of resonance. :smile: :up:

I'm sorry to say that the concept of "natural numbers" (counting numbers) should be abolished. It is logically inconsistent and causes confusion as to...

Perhaps the question to the ultimate answer is ..................... 2 × 3 × 7 = ?
February 24, 2024 at 20:57
Let me provide another, but different illustration that shows why counting and even numbers themselves begin at 0. Consider the two following number s...
February 23, 2024 at 17:35
In the first example, since it is starting from a value of 0, it enters the counting loop one time, adding 1 to 0 (0+1=1). Then it enters the loop aga...

I believe that is what i've been doing.

This is your example: "I pick up a rock, I have one rock. Pick up another, have two. Drop them, have none. Only started counting rocks when I picked u...

February 20, 2024 at 07:38
As they should be. It's not the numbers that start; it's the counting (an action that can start and end). Counting starts at either 0 or the last coun...
February 20, 2024 at 02:51
Another way to understand why one must start counting from 0 to count correctly: Let us assume that we already have a count of 2 rocks. Instead of cou...
February 19, 2024 at 21:56
I think of it like this: before i count, i place my finger on 0 in the number line, and when i make my first count, i move my finger to 1 on the numbe...
February 19, 2024 at 21:04
If i place the print statement before the count (rocks += 1) then: rocks = 0 while rocks < 2: print(rocks) rocks += 1 output = # incorrect output rock...
February 19, 2024 at 19:32
The relevance lies in the logic, not the programming language. There is a right and a wrong way to count. When counting rocks, it is essential to esta...
February 18, 2024 at 18:27
Also, notice that the output count did not include 0, although it's where it began counting. We forget 0 because it's usually invisible as our referen...
February 18, 2024 at 17:33
I simply told the program to count 2 rocks, and yes, i told one to start from 0 and the other to start from 1. If you look closely, you will notice th...
February 18, 2024 at 17:21
What is your criteria for correct or incorrect? Are you saying it doesn't matter how i program it, that i can choose either one, and it'll be as good ...
February 18, 2024 at 13:22
programmatically in Python: rocks = 0 # beginning at 0 while rocks < 2: rocks += 1 print(rocks) output = # correct output rocks = 1 # beginning at 1 w...
February 17, 2024 at 21:21
Every computer programmer knows that counting begins at 0.
February 17, 2024 at 20:59
In this context counting physical objects like rocks can be a bit confusing to some because it's not always clear what exactly is being counted. On th...
