High level programming languages are made to be understandable to humans, but 0 is usually not accepted as a natural number in mathematics. I do not understand why all programming languages I have seen always start counting from 0, eg. int[0] = 1st element instead of int[1] = 1st element. I want to know whether there are any programming languages that support this? If not, why?
Yes, lots. Fortran for example.
And then there are languages which allow array elements to start indexing at almost any integer. Fortran for example.
