Can I initialize and instance of an object in an array with its index in the array?

Below is what I want to achieve. Thanks in advance for the help. I'm a beginner so sorry if this is a very missworded question 
public class MyClass
{
    public MyStruct[] structArray = new MyStruct[10];
    print(MyStruct[n].id);
}

public struct MyStruct
{
    public int id;

    public MyStruct(int i)
    {
        id = i; // Make `id` equal to the index of this instance in `structArray`
    }
}
public class MyClass
{
    public MyStruct[] structArray = new MyStruct[10];
    print(MyStruct[n].id);
}

public struct MyStruct
{
    public int id;

    public MyStruct(int i)
    {
        id = i; // Make `id` equal to the index of this instance in `structArray`
    }
}
And then MyStruct[n].id would equal n and it would print n.

when you 1st initialized the array, fill them up immmediately 
var arr = new MyStruct[10];

for(int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
   arr[i] = new MyStruct(i);
}
var arr = new MyStruct[10];

for(int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
   arr[i] = new MyStruct(i);
}
