There is no reason to re-assign a variable to itself. Either this statement is redundant and should be removed, or the re-assignment is a mistake
and some other value or variable was intended for the assignment instead.
Noncompliant code example
def doSomething() = {
var name = ""
// ...
name = name
}
Compliant solution
def doSomething() = {
var name = ""
// ...
this.name = name
}
