Matrix Keypad routine

[T.Jackson]

I think what I'm really trying to say here is that, if we want (a) to equal 100, and we can predict this value, then why use a formula? (It's unnecessary maths)

Public Function DrawLCD()
   '-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   '// 2 Line 16 LCD_Chrs 5x7 matrix                                            '
   '-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Dim i As Long 'General working var for nested loops
   Dim j As Long '^
   Dim k As Long '^
   Dim f As Long '^
   Dim e As Long '^
   Dim h As Long '^
   
   '// Draw display matrix with all segs off    '
   For LCD_Row = 0 To 1                         '2 lines
       For LCD_Chrs = 0 To 15                   '16 chrs per line
           For f = 0 To 7                       'Matrix row
               For k = 0 To 4                   'Matrix col
                   For j = 0 To Draw_Scale - 1  'Ea seg is (dscale x dscale) pixels
                       For i = 0 To Draw_Scale - 1 '^
                           SetPixelV LCD.hdc, 2 + i + k * (Draw_Scale + 1) + (LCD_Chrs * Draw_Scale * 6) + (LCD_Chrs * 4), 3 + j + (f * (Draw_Scale + 1)) + (LCD_Row * Draw_Scale * 9) + LCD_Row * 7, vbGreen
                       Next
                   Next
               Next
           Next
       Next
   Next

I'm forced into using calculations with the above code because we can't easily predict the values of the variables without making things even more complex than they already are. So there's plenty of valid reasoning behind this predicate arrangement. But if we can predict what we want, and it's feasible to do so, why not hard code it???
