In the below algorithm there are two lines defining 'j'.  I might assume that
the second definition is meant to be 'k' since it is between the first 'j' and
'l', but there is a definition for 'k' on the third line.

This seems wrong...

j = j - 7 * ( j / 7 )

So then which value of j is used in the definition of l?

l = i - j

Any ideas?
