Assigning a value to a static
field in a constructor could cause unreliable behavior at runtime since it will change the value for all
instances of the class.
Instead remove the field’s static
modifier, or initialize it statically.
public class Person { static Date dateOfBirth; static int expectedFingers; public Person(date birthday) { dateOfBirth = birthday; // Noncompliant; now everyone has this birthday expectedFingers = 10; // Noncompliant } }
public class Person { Date dateOfBirth; static int expectedFingers = 10; public Person(date birthday) { dateOfBirth = birthday; } }
