I have a method where x is used, but y isn’t used. Why when I assign sqrt(100) to y then it’s ignored and not even executed (which is the desired behaviour), but when it’s assigned collect(1:100) then it is executed? Is there an official separation between all the functions that are optimized away…

Which variable initialization is optimized away when variable unused?
