Are there any programming languages in which arrays are not zero-indexed?

I.e. the first element of an array is

array[1]

and not 

array[0]

  • Also, in Perl it used to be possible to specify the first index via `$[`. – choroba Aug 03 '17 at 12:38
  • Sure, I thought that this was a more proper place to have this question answered, than some random Google search – A. N. Other Aug 03 '17 at 12:57

  • Technically, Fortran does not need to be 1-indexed. The programmer can customise this, but 1 is the default. – Silasvb Aug 04 '17 at 13:41
