YUV buffer pstride and rstride clarification needed

I hope someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I am guessing that

   - pstride = pixel stride (i.e. the number of bytes per pixel)
   - rstride = row stride (i.e. the number of bytes per row of pixels)

Suppose I want to find the pixel (row=y, column=x), then I should look at
the following location within the byte array:

   - y * rstride + x * pstride

Keep in mind that I am a complete novice ... this is just a guess.
