How *not*?

Just in your mentioned cases the strings are treated only as strings, 
not as arrays of chars - that's the difference between high and low 
level string handling. Dealing with chars inside strings, and 
incrementing/decrementing indices, is kind of pointer arithmetic, which 
also deserves knowledge about pointers.
