While it is technically correct to assign to parameters from within method bodies, doing so before the parameter value is read is likely a bug.
Instead, initial values of parameters, caught exceptions, and foreach parameters should be, if not treated as final, then at least read
before reassignment.
Noncompliant code example
public void doTheThing(String str, int i, List<String> strings) {
str = Integer.toString(i); // Noncompliant
for (String s : strings) {
s = "hello world"; // Noncompliant
}
}
