To really drive home the primitiveness of C arrays, should probably also mention that, because addition is commutative, you could also write

     i[array]

and somewhat surprisingly, it will compile, and work, and it means "*(i + array)" which is equivalent to "*(array + i)"

But nobody really does that, because that would be kind of insane.
