main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int	j	=2;

	printf("Test: %c\n", "heck"[j]);
	exit(0);	/* Not all systems handle return 0; correctly. */
}

or for people who want good English (but not related to indices):

main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int	j	=2;

	printf("We have %d item%s\n",
	  j, j == 1 ? "s" : "");
	exit(0);	/* Not all systems handle return 0; correctly. */
}
