`tmp' is an awful identifier, and renaming it to "temp" hardly improves it. Please take any opportunity to fix this sort of thing.
I chose "ets" which is a bit weird but once one understand what it means, it makes the code much easier to follow.
Also used the same local for both loops. There seems little point in instantiating a second one.
