That’s interesting but seems pretty dangerous. How do you know you aren’t going to decrement off the front of the array? Keeping the pointer to the first element in the array and using offsets seems safer for humans and I don’t think the computer would care.

Kinda a smart alec response, but how do you know you aren’t going to increment off the end of the array when operating normally? I guess it is twice the danger.

i dont want an unsigned int either though. how do you know your arbitrary sized number is inside the size of the array?

best off having a bespoke type that understands how big the array its indexing is
