Prestashop - How to get a specific sub category using parent category id

I am new to PrestaShop. I am trying to get an array of sub-categories using parent category id, so I can refer to the different sub-category in different circumstances. Actually, I want to place an if statement in a foreach loop and check if its the first iteration of the loop then grab the link of 1st sub-category enlisted and if it's 2nd iteration then grab the link of 2nd sub-category and so on. Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance! and sorry for my bad English.

Prestashop 1.6 has getSubCategories function in category class. You should make new category object and use this function on it. 

/**
 * Return current category childs
 *
 * @param int $id_lang Language ID
 * @param bool $active return only active categories
 * @return array Categories
 */

//public function getSubCategories($id_lang, $active = true)

$this->category = new Category($id_category, $this->context->language->id);

$subcategories = $this->category->getSubCategories($this->context->language->id);

to get first level children:

$subcategories = Category::getChildren($id_parent, $id_lang);

to loop through:

foreach($subcategories as $category) {
  echo $category['name'];
}
