Teacher Note Says Index -> Video Says Index +1?

What am I missing?

teacher's notes has this example:

• >>> my_list = [5, 2, 4, 1, 3] • >>> for index, value in enumerate(my_list): • . . . print("{}: {}".format(index, value)) • 0: 5 • 1: 2 • 2: 4 • 3: 1 • 4: 3

But the video says use Index +1 to enumerate through the alphabet example.

In the video he is going over the alphabet, the loop starts at the 0th index but by adding the +1 to the format, the alphabet will be output as such:

1:a
2:b
3:c

Instead of:

0:a
1:b
2:c
