How to Post a Message for Support

Does this code serve any purpose?

I'm trying to learn the SC language and I can't see the purpose of the 'Unused' and 'Version' InputRef. The output seems to be the same when these lines are commented out, or included. Am I missing something?
Thanks

SCSFExport scsf_HighestHighLowestLowOverNBars(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
  SCSubgraphRef HighestHigh = sc.Subgraph[0];
  SCSubgraphRef LowestLow = sc.Subgraph[1];

  SCInputRef Length = sc.Input[3];
  //SCInputRef Unused = sc.Input[4];
  SCInputRef InputDataHigh = sc.Input[5];
  SCInputRef InputDataLow = sc.Input[6];
  //SCInputRef Version = sc.Input[7];

  if (sc.SetDefaults)
  {
    sc.GraphName = "Highest High / Lowest Low Over N Bars";

    sc.GraphRegion = 0;
    sc.AutoLoop = 1;
    sc.FreeDLL = 1;
    
    HighestHigh.Name= "Highest High";
    HighestHigh.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_LINE;
    HighestHigh.PrimaryColor = RGB(0,255,0);
    HighestHigh.DrawZeros = true;

    LowestLow.Name = "Lowest Low";
    LowestLow.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_LINE;
    LowestLow.PrimaryColor = RGB(255,0,255);
    LowestLow.DrawZeros = true;

    Length.Name = "Length";
    Length.SetInt(5);
    Length.SetIntLimits(1, MAX_STUDY_LENGTH);

    InputDataHigh.Name = "Input Data High";
    InputDataHigh.SetInputDataIndex(SC_HIGH);

    InputDataLow.Name = "Input Data Low";
    InputDataLow.SetInputDataIndex(SC_LOW);

    //Version.SetYesNo(1);

    return;
  }

  //if(Version.GetYesNo() == 0)
  //{
  //  InputDataHigh.SetInputDataIndex(SC_HIGH);
  //  InputDataLow.SetInputDataIndex(SC_LOW);
  //  Version.SetYesNo(1);
  //}

  sc.DataStartIndex = (int)(Length.GetInt()) - 1; //+ Unused.GetFloat());

  if (sc.Index < sc.DataStartIndex)
    return;

  double Lowest = FLT_MAX;
  double Highest = -FLT_MAX;
  for(int i1 = sc.Index - (Length.GetInt() - 1); i1<= sc.Index; i1++)
  {
    if(Highest < sc.BaseDataIn[InputDataHigh.GetInputDataIndex()][i1])
      Highest = sc.BaseDataIn[InputDataHigh.GetInputDataIndex()][i1];

    if(Lowest > sc.BaseDataIn[InputDataLow.GetInputDataIndex()][i1])
      Lowest = sc.BaseDataIn[InputDataLow.GetInputDataIndex()][i1];
  }

  HighestHigh[sc.Index] = (float)Highest;
  LowestLow[sc.Index] = (float)Lowest;
}

At this point in time the Version input really is not needed and we have removed it. It previously was needed for back compatibility.

We do not know why the Unused input was still left there. It has been removed as well.
