Hey, fourck you too, man.
counting != indexing
Haaaaaang on is that why we start on 0…
No. We count start at zero because the array already starts with an element of a specific size. Starting at 1 would always skip that initial element.
No, we start counting at one. We start indexing at zero.
An array with one element has an element count of 1, and that element would be at index 0.
This is how we end up with off-by-one errors
If you count in binary you can get to 31 on one hand, and 2,047 on two hands
One hand would be 2**5 = 32 (0 to 31) and two would be 2**10 = 1024 (0 to 1023).
And if you use 3 states per finger (down, half raised and raised), you can have 3**10 = 59049 (0 to 59048).
