The fence post paradox

Name: Anonymous 2010-05-24 13:39

Suppose you have regular C-array, like this:

int *array[] = {23, 7, 101};

Someone asks you which element is 23. Now the paradox is this: You may answer only 'zeroth' or 'first'. How do you respond?

The element of index 0

None of the elements are 23. The only element (at index 0) is {23, 7, 101}.

I don't think you know C syntax as well as you think you do.

Get your "paradox" shit out of here.

zeroth and first are both fine. oneth would be wrong, as that is the second.
