Is there a technical term to say if an array starts at index 0 (e.g. C/C++) or 1 (e.g. pascal) ?
Is it simply "0-based array" and "1 based array" ?
Thanks.
I'd rather be phishing!

I believe the correct terms are right and wrong.

That was true before Lua appeared.

Well, you can extend 'wrong' a little. I believe 1-based indexing is also referred to as Visual Basic.

at least thats what the .NET Framework uses in its documentation

Wimp. Real coders don't read documentation.

I only have seen that in the Intellisense popup of some .NET function. Intellisense is all the documentation that I need.

Heh. But only after they upgrade from Teco and SOS.

In high school(1983) on a PDP-11 the nerds go-getters used TECO. Everyone else was using EDT in line mode. 
In college on a VAX we used EDT in screen mode, I did when OpenVMS was paying the bills; and I still do on my hobbyist OpenVMS systems.

When I worked in DEC's consulting division, I actually wrote some code for a customer in LSE to allow them to view report files in a manner similar to how they had previously done it on the IBM system the VAX was replacing.

I said something like this to a younger colleague a few weeks ago, I got a 'deer in headlight' look as a response. God I'm old  .
