Wow.
"But in Java we don't have pointers, and so it doesn't make any sense to have 0 based numbering in Java, we should have 1 based numbering, but they wanted that backward compatibility with C, so now we are left with that baggage."
I guess he doesn't actually work with numbers much.

Wow.
What he's talking about is doing pointer math to walk over a collection/array. We (at least I) don't have to do that in Java so a zero-based number scheme doesn't make a whole lot of sense. He even mentions it makes total sense in C.
Don't know how much more clear he could be on that point.

I don't know I just used collections.
