In programming, when counting items in an array or list, we typically begin with the number zero. This is known as zero-based indexing and is common in many programming languages such as Python, Java, C, and JavaScript.

For example:

  • In an array or list with elements, the first element is accessed with the index 0, the second element with the index 1, and so forth.

Here's a quick example in Python:

my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
print(my_list[0])  # Accessing the first element; outputs 'apple'
print(my_list[1])  # Accessing the second element; outputs 'banana'

So, the correct answer to your question is number zero.
