    x[3] doesn't mean take the 3rd apple.

    x[3] means skip 3 apples and then take one.

    x[0] means skip 0 apples and then take one.

    Damn it guys...

    I wanted to nitpick him on array indexes first!

    And I asked for oranges damn it! ORANGES!

    Can't our front end guy get it right?

    @Jifuna it is a valid way to think about it, but when you look how it is implemented in C:
    X is the (pointer to the) first apple
    so is X[0]=X+0
    But when we skip the first: X[1] = X+1 we get the second apple. and so on
