Just as the message says, the code creates that variable named "path" but never uses it for anything. It's not an error, but it is a potential sign that something is missing so the compiler gives a warning.

If you are following along with the videos but have not gotten to the last one yet, perhaps this was created in anticipation of code yet to be added.
