Often times I want the stupidest things in an array or table. Today’s item is month’s name.

Month Names in a Table to Copy and Paste to a Spreadsheet

Month Name	3 Letter Name	Zero Based Index	One Based Index
January	Jan	0	1
February	Feb	1	2
March	Mar	2	3
April	Apr	3	4
May	May	4	5
June	Jun	5	6
July	Jul	6	7
August	Aug	7	8
September	Sep	8	9
October	Oct	9	10
November	Nov	10	11
December	Dec	11	12

String in Various Arrays

// Javascript - Zero based array
var monthNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];

// Javascript - One based array
var monthNames = ["Shift 1", "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
 
// C# - Zero based array
string [] monthNames = new string [] {"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"};

// C# - One based array
string [] monthNames = new string [] { 
"Shift 1", "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"};

Why have a one based array?
Most people will enter months starting at ‘1’ not zero. Most date object return January as a 1. Use which work best for you.
