A for
loop stop condition should test the loop counter against an invariant value (i.e. one that is true at both the beginning and
ending of every loop iteration). Ideally, this means that the stop condition is set to a local variable just before the loop begins.
Stop conditions that are not invariant are slightly less efficient, as well as being difficult to understand and maintain, and likely lead to the introduction of errors in the future.
This rule tracks three types of non-invariant stop conditions:
- When the loop counters are updated in the body of the
for
loop - When the stop condition depend upon a method call
- When the stop condition depends on an object property, since such properties could change during the execution of the loop.
Noncompliant Code Example
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { ... i = i - 1; // Noncompliant; counter updated in the body of the loop ... }
Compliant Solution
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {...}

Duplicated Code
Duplicated code can lead to software that is hard to understand and difficult to change. The Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle states:
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.
When you violate DRY, bugs and maintenance problems are sure to follow. Duplicated code has a tendency to both continue to replicate and also to diverge (leaving bugs as two similar implementations differ in subtle ways).
Tuning
This issue has a mass of 69.
We set useful threshold defaults for the languages we support but you may want to adjust these settings based on your project guidelines.
The threshold configuration represents the minimum mass a code block must have to be analyzed for duplication. The lower the threshold, the more fine-grained the comparison.
If the engine is too easily reporting duplication, try raising the threshold. If you suspect that the engine isn't catching enough duplication, try lowering the threshold. The best setting tends to differ from language to language.
