The following example shows the use of the \kcode{linear} clause in a worksharing-loop 
construct to allow the proper parallelization of a loop that contains 
an induction variable (\ucode{j}).  At the end of the execution of 
the worksharing-loop construct, the original variable \ucode{j} is updated with 
the value \ucode{N/2} from the last iteration of the loop.
