== Why is this an issue?

The compiler automatically initializes class fields to their default values before setting them with any initialization values, so there is no need to explicitly set a field to its default value. Further, under the logic that cleaner code is better code, it's considered poor style to do so.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,java]
----
public class MyClass {

  int count = 0;  // Noncompliant
  // ...

}
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,java]
----
public class MyClass {

  int count;
  // ...

}
----


=== Exceptions

``++final++`` fields are ignored.
