Thread: the "[]" operator

In C, does this operator simply do the following:

(memory location of Var) + (words or bytes per value)

?

So, assuming a byte-addressed system where an int is a word (24 bits) long, a[12] would yield the int stored at the address of 'a' added to 12 (the index) times 4 (number of bytes in a word)?

a[i] == *(a+i)

That clears that up. Thanks.
