MisplacedNullCheck


MisplacedNullCheck
The null check here is misplaced. if the variable is null you'll get a NullPointerException.
    Either the check is useless (the variable will never be "null") or it's incorrect.
      
		
		
		    
    			This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:
    			
    			
        
//Expression
    /*[self::ConditionalOrExpression or self::ConditionalAndExpression]
     /descendant::PrimaryExpression/PrimaryPrefix
      /Name[starts-with(@Image,
      concat(ancestor::PrimaryExpression/following-sibling::EqualityExpression
       [./PrimaryExpression/PrimaryPrefix/Literal/NullLiteral]
     /PrimaryExpression/PrimaryPrefix
      /Name[count(../../PrimarySuffix)=0]/@Image,"."))
    ]
    
        
  
		    
		    
	    
	    
        
        
        Example:
            
                    
    
public class Foo {
 void bar() {
  if (a.equals(baz) && a != null) {}
 }
}
    
      
            
  
        
        Example:
            
                    
public class Foo {
 void bar() {
  if (a.equals(baz) || a == null) {}
 }
