There's no point in checking a variable against the value you're about to assign it. Save the cycles and lines of code, and simply perform the assignment.
== Noncompliant Code Example
[source,text]
----
if (x != a) // Noncompliant; why bother?
{
x = a;
}
----
== Compliant Solution
[source,text]
----
x = a;
----
== Exceptions
Properties and checks inside setters are excluded from this rule because they could have side effects and removing the check could lead to undesired side effects.
----
if (MyProperty != a)
{
MyProperty = a; // Compliant because the setter could be expensive call
}
----
----
private int myField;
public int SomeProperty
{
get
{
return myField;
}
set
{
if (myField != value)
{
myField = value;
}
}
}
