Google Bard/Gemini says the General Behavior has 3 possible outcomes; 1- Discarding the Value - the method executes but the value isn't stored and becomes lost. 2- No impact on the program's core logic. 3- Potential Performance implications, that could be negligible for simple programs or could be relevant for heavy processing work.
