        </script>

Are you asking about (0.) , i.e. a non-integer value such as floating-point? — JosephDoggie, Nov 08 '21 at 18:36

How to change the value of the index number of an array so that it would start from 1 instead of 0

Just answering the question without asking why you want that: You can achieve it by inserting and deleting a dummy element 0.

<p id = "array"></p>        
<script>
    var car = ["", "Nissan Skyline R34 GTR", "Toyota Supra A80", "Mazda RX7 FD3S", "Honda NSX Type R", "Nissan 240SX", "Toyoto AE86", "Subaru Impreza WRX Sti", "Honda Civic EG6"];
    delete car[0]
    var text = "";
    car.forEach(script)
        document.getElementById("array").innerHTML = text;

    function script(value, index, array)
    { text += ("My #" + index + " choice is " + value + ". <br>"); }
</script>
