0-Based vs 1-Based Indexing — Question-Driven Error Audit (DR288)

DR288 pairs 0-Based vs 1-Based Indexing (Engine array col[k] (0-based) vs learner label Column k+1 (1-based)) with Question-Driven Modality (Self-Test Triage): learners verify Array index col[0] corresponds to Display Column 1 on the RoadLegend, master Coordinate Index Translation Between Engine and Display Grid, and eliminate off-by-one lookup errors when translating array index k to display columns.

Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy · Mark #4

This bead is at Row 3. Column 2 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Small Road · Mark #4

Column 3 has 4 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 4 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 3 with Column 1, 2 columns further back.
  2. Column 3 has 4 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 3, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

Cockroach Pig · Mark #2

Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 1, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

DR288 0-Based vs 1-Based Indexing: Question-Driven Error Audit Walkthrough

In DR288, Question-Driven Error Audit transforms 0-Based vs 1-Based Indexing into a repeatable check of Array index col[0] corresponds to Display Column 1 on the RoadLegend, eliminating off-by-one lookup errors when translating array index k to display columns on sequence PPBBPPPPB.

Matrix comparison DR288 under Question-Driven Error Audit reads: This bead is at Row 3. Column 2 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠). With 19 Small Road and 15 Cockroach Pig marks plotted, Array index col[0] corresponds to Display Column 1 on the RoadLegend is verified.

DR288 Misconception Diagnostic & Secondary Road Audit

As DR288 concludes for 0-Based vs 1-Based Indexing, Column 3 has 4 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠). Practicing diagnosing off-by-one column lookbacks and Case 2b vs Case 2c mixups across 13 streaks answers Where does an off-by-one column count flip the derived mark color?

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn DR288 (0-Based vs 1-Based Indexing), off-by-one lookup errors when translating array index k to display columns or reading red/blue derived marks as Banker/Player outcomes.
TruthCoordinate Index Translation Between Engine and Display Grid evaluates Array index col[0] corresponds to Display Column 1 on the RoadLegend; derived road colors reflect structural symmetry only and never alter independent shoe probabilities.
