    Even in the CS world, ordinal phrases are still 1-indexed (e.g. the first element of an array vs element 0).

      It’s actually pretty common to say 0th index, but it depends a lot on context.

        Sure, but that only applies when referring to indices or to the zeroth element specifically.
