My advice would be to write the code correctly in the first place.
`int B[N]` defines an N-element array. It just has weird indexing.
You may think - I certainly do - that 0-based indexing is the work
of the devil, but that is the choice made for C, and you're better
off working with it (and hence not contrary to the usual behaviour
of those here who might help you) than against it.
