When the names of parameters in a method call match the names of the method arguments, it contributes to clearer, more readable code. However, when
the names match, but are passed in a different order than the method arguments, it indicates a mistake in the parameter order which will likely lead
to unexpected results.
Noncompliant code example
int divide(int divisor, int dividend) {
return divisor / dividend;
}
void doTheThing() {
int divisor = 15;
int dividend = 5;
int result = divide(dividend, divisor); // Noncompliant; operation succeeds, but result is unexpected
//...
}
Compliant solution
int divide(int divisor, int dividend) {
return divisor / dividend;
}
void doTheThing() {
int divisor = 15;
int dividend = 5;
int result = divide(divisor, dividend);
//...
}
