Does this code have any other purpose?

This bit of code 

$(this).attr("href");
  console.log(href);

Does it have any other purpose besides helping us verify if the function is working correctly in the console? We just need to prevent the default event from happening as a first step, right; so the code could be deleted without an issue?
