You can't mix your style of declaration. Same as typing your declarations on one line, you either declare them all on one line with the int at the beginning, or you declare them all on separate lines.
You can say:
int i=0, j=3, k=9;
but you can't say:
int i=0, int j=3, int k=9;
or:
int i;
i=0, int j=3;

the line
for (int i=0, j=0;...;...)
is the same as saying :
define i as an integer and set it to 0
AND
define j as an integer and set it to 0
but you have already done that with j, thus error!
