The easiest way is to have an array which begins at 0, but to ignore
the zeroth element.  Ie, if you want an array from 1...8 of int, do:

int array[9];

which will give you an array from 0...8, and then you just ignore
array[0].

There are other ways but this is the easiest.  Why do you want
the array to start at 1?
