Calculating or retrieving a value only to then overwrite it or throw it away, could indicate a serious error in the code. Even if it's not an error, it is at best a waste of resources. Therefore all calculated values should be used.

void calculateRate(int a, int b)
|
|
{
|
|
int i;
|
|
|
|
i = a + b; // Noncompliant; calculation result not used before value is overwritten
|
|
i = doSomething(); // Noncompliant; retrieved value not used
|
|
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
|
|
// ...
|
|
}

// ...
