Analog Read dummy file

Can we use just a analog Read without storing it

i hear it it a good practice to take two reads

for better accuracy

example:

// Read extra analog inputs
    for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
    // Read analog pin to nothing.
        analogRead(i]); // analog-read is not writing to anything 
}


// Read the analog inputs
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
    // Write the state of the analog pin to the response buffer.
    slave.writeRegisterToBuffer(i, analogRead(analog_pins[address + i]));
}
