actualy,
if the subscript is greater than the size of the array
2 things can happen:
1. the value will be storred in the next memory location, calculated by the index, so if v[10] is a vector, than v is the address of its first element, and v is *(v+i) so v[11] is *(v+11). if in that location is another variable, its value will be overwritten.
2. it will produce a segmentation fault or something like that if that memory location cannot be written, that is it is outside the zone allocated for your process
