Statement has no effect

Reports statements that have no effect.

Example:

class Car:
    def __init__(self, speed=0):
        self.speed = speed
        self.time # has no effect

2 + 3 # has no effect

In this example, you can either add a field time to the Car class or introduce variables for the problematic statements.
