== Why is this an issue?

A class declaration also creates a variable with the same name. It is possible to change the value of that variable but this is most likely an error. Even in the best-case scenario, where this is intentional, this is very confusing and should be avoided.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,javascript]
----
class Foo { }
Foo = 0; // Noncompliant
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,javascript]
----
let Foo = class { }
Foo = 0;
----

or


[source,javascript]
----
let Foo = class Foo { }
Foo = 0;
----
