Can a router and pc have the same ip address? Packet tracer 17.8.2

I don't know if this is a stupid question. But im doing the packet tracer assignment 17.8.2 and I'm kinda confused. I gave 3 pcs an ipv4 which I created from 192.168.0.0/24. They each respectively have 100 hosts, 50 hosts and 25 hosts. I gave them 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.129 and 192.168.0.193 (the tracer wouldn't let me do 0.0, 0.128 or 192). So I assigned the addresses to the pcs. But in the addressing table the ipv4 addresses for G0/0, G0/1, G0/2 and switches were blank. So I didn't know if I had to create subnets for them too. So I found the answer version of the assignment to see what they did and it just made me confused. The interfaces in the router had the same ipv4 addresses has the ones I assigned my computer. I don't understand o.o can someone please explain it to me. And can I use the same ipv4 addresses for my computer as the interfaces on the router or is that a no go? I really need help since I'm pretty new to all the network stuff

Thanks a lot
