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
public function divide($divisor, $dividend) {
return $divisor/$dividend;
}
public function doTheThing() {
$divisor = 15;
$dividend = 5;
$result = $this->divide($dividend, $divisor); // Noncompliant; operation succeeds, but result is unexpected
}
Compliant solution
public function divide($divisor, $dividend) {
return $divisor/$dividend;
}
public function doTheThing() {
$divisor = 15;
$dividend = 5;
$result = $this->divide($divisor, $dividend); // Compliant
}{code}
