0th Floor

Aug 12, 2016 01:44
The US, Japan, and many other countries think of a ground floor as a first floor.

On the other hand, the UK, European countries, and Australia think of a ground floor as a 0th floor.

Therefore, a first floor for the UK corresponds to a second floor for us.

I have never thought that the counting from first floor is wrong, but for basement floors, we count B1 (-1), B2 (-2), ...

Considering the number increases by one each floor, it might make sense that the ground floor is a 0th floor.

Also, counting from zero is approachable for many programmers.
0階

アメリカや日本、その他多くの国では、建物の最初の階を1階としています。

一方、イギリスやオーストラリアでは、建物の最初の階を0階としています。

したがって、イギリスにとっての1階は、我々にとっての2階になります。

私はこれまで1階から数えることに何も疑問を抱いていませんでしたが、地下はB1(-1)、B2(-2)と数えていきます。

数字が1ずつ増えていくことを考えると、地上は0としたほうが理にかなっているかもしれません。

また、プログラマにとっても0からカウントするほうが親しみやすいです。
