Yikes. What is this conditional for? The only value it has is to confuse
the reader.

Darn. Do not stick variable definitiions in the middle of the code and
especially not glued to the function w/o a newline in between. Move it to
the top of the file.

Your code ordering is really random. What has this i++ to do with the
store? Nothing. It just makes reading the code harder. Just move it below
the store.
