Overriding or shadowing a variable declared in an outer scope can strongly impact the readability, and therefore the maintainability, of a piece of
code. Further, it could lead maintainers to introduce bugs because they think they’re using one variable but are really using another.
Noncompliant Code Example
class Foo {
public int myField;
public void doSomething() {
int myField = 0;
...
}
}
