1000 was just for the purposes of illustration. The array could equally
be stored at address 0, or 6, or 21890 -- it's not a matter for the
programmer to worry unduly about -- compilers tend to do a pretty good job
of slotting tonnes of integers, strings, arrays, etc into memory with very
little free space in between.
