## Why is this an issue?

The compiler automatically initializes class fields to their default values before setting them with any initialization values, so there is no need to explicitly set a field to its default value. Further, under the logic that cleaner code is better code, it’s considered poor style to do so.

### Noncompliant code example

    public class MyClass {

      int count = 0;  // Noncompliant
      // ...

    }

### Compliant solution

    public class MyClass {

      int count;
      // ...

    }

### Exceptions

`final` fields are ignored.
