UnusedVariable Rule

The variable is not being used.

Remarks

The code contains a variable that is not being used. Although having unused items does not affect code functionality, unused items clutter code, making it difficult to read and maintain.

More importantly, unused variables could indicate deeper logic issues in your application. For instance, the variable could represent important functionality that has not been implemented.

Resolution

You should review all unused items to ensure that they do not represent important functionality that should be implemented. If the variable is unnecessary, you should consider removing it to keep your application running optimally and to keep your code readable and manageable.
