It might help if you think about the very close relationship between pointers & arrays in 'C':

When you define an array in 'C'

char myArray[];

the name of the array acts a pointer to the array data; ie, myArray and &myArray[0] are equivalent.

The 'C' [] operator is the indexing or offset operator, and can be applied to any pointer; thus,

myArray[0];  // The byte pointed-to by myArray
myArray[1];  // The next byte 
myArray[10]; // 10 bytes after the one pointed-to by myArray

etc
