For loop indicies

I would like to run a for loop with an index going from 0 to 499 but the following seems to miss out the first value:

C<- 499
for (i in 0:C)

The alternative is:

C<- 500
for (i in 1:C)
{
#Then every time I use i, I replace it with i-1
}

Is this a good way to do it or is tere a better way?

Thank you,
