The variable i is being initialized with the value 0 that is never read, it is being re-assigned 0 again in a for-loop statement later on. The initialization is redundant and can be removed. The initialization of variable n can also be deferred after the sanity check on pointer n and the declaration of all the int variables can be combined as a final code clear-up.
