\section{\code{linear} Clause in Loop Constructs} \label{sec:linear_in_loop} The following example shows the use of the \code{linear} clause in a loop construct to allow the proper parallelization of a loop that contains an induction variable (\plc{j}). At the end of the execution of the loop construct, the original variable \plc{j} is updated with the value \plc{N/2} from the last iteration of the loop. \cexample[4.5]{linear_in_loop}{1} \ffreeexample[4.5]{linear_in_loop}{1}
