Uninitialized local variables should not be accessed

• UNINITIALIZED_LOCAL_VAR
• Error
• Medium
• No tags

This rule applies when uninitialized local variables are accessed.

Accessing an uninitialized local variable results in undefined value so that it is not likely to be a programmer's intent.

Noncompliant Code Example

function foo() {
    var x;
    clearTimeout(x); // UNINITIALIZED_LOCAL_VAR alarm
}

Compliant Code Example

function foo() {
    var x = 1000;
    clearTimeout(x);
}
