A useful tip I picked up was to use ii instead of j for an inner loop. It's far more distinct than j.

If for some terrible reason you have even more inner loops you can easily continue the trend i, ii, iii, iiii, iiiii - or iv, v if you're feeling roman

If you have the need to nest 5 levels of for-loops, I suggest taking a step back and rethinking your approach, my friend.

Even if that other approach is just refactoring it into separate methods.
