                  Local variables should be final.
Description
#
                    The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a local variable isn't marked
                    as being final.
                  
Example
#
                    The following code produces this diagnostic because the variable s isn't
                    marked as being final:
                  
int f(int i) {
  var s = i + 1;
  return s;
}
Common fixes
#
                    Add the modifier final to the variable, removing the var if there is
                    one:
                  
int f(int i) {
  final s = i + 1;
  return s;
}
