How can I use an index of zero in an array in MATLAB?
Show older comments
It would be nice if MATLAB allowed the programmer to decide how they would index into matrices.

MATLAB does not allow an index of zero into an array unless you are performing logical indexing using a vector including a logical 0 and want to ignore the corresponding element of the array into which you are indexing.
As a workaround, you can create a MATLAB object with which you can use zero-based indexing. A sample object that implements some of the basic MATLAB arithmetic operators is available from the MATLAB Central File Exchange. The example was written by Nabeel Azar and is available in the "varbase.zip" file that can be found at the following URL:
