index[array] is identical to array[index]

address+[offset] is the same as [offset]+address? It's almost like that thing these mathematicians were talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutative_property

Does this work with multi dimensional arrays?

>>62182796
>>62183069


But why is it

i[array] = 42;

then?

Shouldn't it be

[i]array = 42;

???

>>62183986

Meh, bad wording..

Normal:
myArr[i] = 0;

Funky way:
i[myArr] = 0;


But why isn't it:
[i]myArr = 0;

?

>>62184028
because that's not how subscripts work

>>62184040

So "x[y]" is bascially the operation "x+y"?

I see..

>>62184062
No, it's the operation *(x+y)

>>62184076

Yeah, sorry for the interpunctuation.

still learning asm..

Source?

specify the language you're writing in next time, nigga

>>62185900
It may be strange but I knew what he meant without additional explanations, I didn't even notice that he didn't mention the language.

>>62185997
C is the only language which is so retarded

>>62186079
I don't find it retarded. It actually makes sense once you know the technical background such as memory mapping and memory layout.

>>62186216
C has no awareness of memory mapping. C predates memory segmentation.

>>62186216
>it makes sense if you know why that is
Yeah, same as ("2" + 1 == 21) making sense in JS if you know why it happens. Doesn't mean that it isn't retarded though.
(Note: example might not be true.)

>>62186288
It's a slightly different kind of example, C is on a lower level than JS and the majority of its limitations and quirks are due to the underlying hardware. Any variable is actually just an address to a some location in the virtual memory.
