=== Code examples

==== Noncompliant code example

With the default regular expression ``{regex}``:

[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
public class MyClass {
    public void doSomething(int myParam) {
      int LOCAL;    // Noncompliant
      // ...
    }
}
----

==== Compliant solution

[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
public class MyClass {
    public void doSomething(int my_param) {
      int local;
      // ...
    }
}
