4) Taking a subscript with value i is equivalent to the operation: "pointer-add i and then type-dereference the sum", i.e.
      xxx[i] = *(xxx # i)

As others mentioned, the answer is yes, but you may want to get a better understanding.

Yes, for instance:

given:

int a[10];

Then

*(a + 2)

is equivalent to

a[2]

and just for good measure.

a[2]

is equivalent to

2[a]
