Array indices should be placed between brackets

While C syntax considers array subscripts ([]) as symmetrical, meaning that a[i] and i[a] are equivalent, the convention is to put the index in the brackets rather than the array name. Inverting the index and array name serves no purpose, and is very confusing.

Noncompliant Code Example

10[P1] = 0; // Noncompliant
dostuff(i[arr]); // Noncompliant

Compliant Solution

P1[10] = 0;
dostuff(arr[i]);
