    Me: What is this we’re standing on?

    Patrick: The floor.

    Me: And if I go up the stairs, what will I be standing on?

    Patrick: The floor.

    Me: So there is a floor above this one?

    Patrick: Yes.

    Me: And in order, that floor upstairs would come after this one?

    Patrick: Yes.

    Me: So, that would make it the second floor I’ve touched after coming inside?

    Patrick: Yes.

    Me: So which floor are we on now?

    Patrick: Ground floor.

      What is -1 + 1? So which floor do you end up on if you go up one floor from the basement?

      Edit: but apparently you don’t call those -1, -2, etc, but B1, B2, etc, is that right?

        That’s correct. It’s a building, not a number line.

      On the ground floor, you’re standing on the ground which has been covered by a (hopefully nice) floor.
