title: Do we call the first bit in a byte bit 1 or 0?
body: <p>For this example, I create an integer.</p>
  
  <pre><code>int example = 0;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now let's say I want to know what the first bit of this integer is. I know it would be at bit position 0. But would I call it bit 1 or 0. The reason I ask is because I have seen documentation where the first bit of an integer is labeled as bit 0 and then later labeled as bit 1. I know it's a mistake on their end, just curious as to what I should be referring to it as.</p>
