By the way, in your example, you are setting the loop iterator (i) to an uninitialized local (j) which isn't going to work.
Well, it's going to "work", if you don't care what the actual behaviour is - ie., if the code hangs at random executions...

I assume you meant eg here (i.e. this is an example), since this is only
