If you want to perform the same operation (or sum) on multiple variables, you
can use a loop. As long as you use the same variable that controls the loop to
control the array, then each successive iteration through the loop will perform
the sum on the next position in the array.

Yes, it's always plus one (or minus one X--;)

The other posters are right, learn basic C#.
