## Why is this an issue?

There is no reason to re-assign a variable to itself. Either this statement is redundant and should be removed, or the re-assignment is a mistake and some other value or variable was intended for the assignment instead.

### Noncompliant code example

    public void setName(String name) {
      name = name;
    }

### Compliant solution

    public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
    }
