This check looks for variable assignements that are either overwritten by other assignments or where the variable is not used subsequently.
Both the
$myVarassignment in line 1 and the$higherassignment in line 2 are dead. The first because$myVaris never used and the second because$higheris always overwritten for every possible time line.
