Why do programmers start counting from 0?

One day, I started wondering why we start counting from 0 and couldn't
find a good search string to get much out from google.com. Can anyone
help me?



One of the advantage I can think of is modulus of that number gives a
more organised result.



Or is it just because of binary representation of our number?
Please help. Thanks. :)
