Avoid using method parameter names that conflict with class member names

Description

This rule flags any method parameter name that conflicts with a class member name.

Example

The following example shows the use of the same names `i' and `j' for parameters, an instance variable, and a method, respectively. This might create confusion when using the variable or calling the function, and eventually lead to a logic error.

 package PB;
 
 public class MPC {
     void method (int i, int j) {}
     void j () {}
     private int i = 3;
 }

Repair

Use different names for parameters and class members (variables and methods) to avoid confusion.
