In this noncompliant code example, OUT_STR_LEN must always be exactly two greater than IN_STR_LEN. This is not obvious from the definitionsThe definitions fail to reflect this requirement.

public static final int IN_STR_LEN = 18; public static final int OUT_STR_LEN = 12; |
...
The definitions should reflect the lack independence of a relationship between the two constants.

public static final int ADULT_AGE = 18; public static final int ALCOHOL_AGE = 21; |

Failure to properly encode relationships in constant declarations may can lead to unexpected values and may can complicate maintenance.
