With this tricky we don't need this strange 'j' variable laying around
outside the loop, even better, since that variable is not even used
outside of the for loop.

The iteration using this tricky goes like the following:

The old tricky using just 'i':
For i = 0:
    0 * 2     = 0
    0 * 2 + 1 = 1

For i = 1:
    1 * 2     = 2
    1 * 2 + 1 = 3

For i = 2:
    2 * 2     = 4
    2 * 2 + 1 = 5

The new tricky using 'j':
For i = 0:
    j = 0
    0     = 0
    0 + 1 = 1

For i = 1:
    j = 2
    2     = 2
    2 + 1 = 3

For i = 2:
    j = 4
    4     = 4
    4 + 1 = 5

So the new code does the same thing as the old but with the advantage of
not having to use a temporary variable outside the loop.

And the tricky with 'j' has also the benefit of avoid a multiplication and the rules of operator precedence.
