Aren’t those two the same thing? At least in C-style arrays, which might not be how they’re handled under the hood, but is at least how most languages present it to the programmer.

Yes they are presented in the programmer wrong. The first thing in memory should have offset 0 and index 1

in my understanding offset is technically the “relative index”, or how much you have to go further
