Answer / karthiga
In os the memory location starts with 0 only.Consider, if
we try to store the value at 1st location means we cant use
our os memory efficiently.That's why all the data type's
memory size are in even numbers.

Answer / mohit
There are many language have array index is starting with
zero and one. The main reason of starting of array is index
is dynamically allocation of array size. Those language
follow the concept of array index is zero have dyanamicaly
allocation of memory and on the other hand starting with one
only have concept of staticlly allocaton.

Answer / guru
Simple answer, 0 is the starting number of natural numbers.
Be +ve always.. So no one will like to use -ve numbers more than the positive numbers.
You may thing above answer is wrong but the designer will consider above things in mind and creates the compiler.
