In computer science, an offset within an array or other data structure object is an integer indicating the distance between the beginning of the object and a given element or point, presumably within the same object. The concept of a distance is valid only if all elements of the object are of the same size.

For example, in A as an array of characters containing "abcdef", the fourth element containing the character 'd' has an offset of three from the start of A.
