I could tell you my recent cenario, but it wouldn’t get us anywhere. because I know that it’s avoidable, but it’d take for me to run a different logic for only first element of my array. which is doable, but it’d make the code like 5 extra lines longer, harder to read/follow. But I just simply choose to put -1 and boom it’s fixed, just works.

another solution would be (without context) is to add one more variable and one more check to my foreach, but that takes more memory and cpu, I usually choose the i = -1, it’s ugly but not as ugly as other solutions would be
