It's because it is not proven that element with the index 1 exists. Even TypeScript enforces bounds checking these days.
As for the first one - as i understand, this will spoil the original array, as it is assigned by reference; so by writing the string into `numbersOrStrings`, you also write it into `numbers`, thus violating the type.

I made an implementation of this algorithm as a university assignment;
here's a vanilla implementation of Quicksort https://github.com/leonid-shevtsov/uni-programming/blob/mast...
and here's the function to generate data that causes the custom implementation to go O(n^2) https://github.com/leonid-shevtsov/uni-programming/blob/mast...

This reminded me of Dogma 95, a similar manifesto for film directors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogme_95

There's also Mailtrap http://mailtrap.io/ that prevents test emails from getting to real addresses, and collects them on a server where they could be viewed by every member of the team.

This. Having a paragraph of explanation text for each line is not a replacement for source code that is readable by itself.
I understand, though, that explaining each and every line of code was done for the sake of learning C.

What are you panicking about? A gig of RAM costs less than a fast food meal nowadays.
EDIT: and the cost of programmer hours required to save a gig of RAM is orders of magnitude more.
