It comes from the C, where array[0] was equivalent to *(array+0) which is the same as *array, the first value of the array (if you want more explanations, learn about C or C++ pointers)

Not all languages array start from 0 For example in pascal you can choose what the indexes should be and where it starts from In the array deceleration you can put: array [0..20] array [17..48] array [-13..40] and most impressively: array [char] //array index is letters example "A" If I remember rights you can also make an array with string as index
