Instead of returning the sum, the program should just print it onscreen.

The method has a docstring that is not descriptive enough. The docstring should mention the variables and their descriptions to improve the code.

The name of this method should be something else.

There should be an additional variable defined at the beginning to store the sum, and this value is returned at the end.
The suggested improvements would be to:
- Change the name of the method to something more descriptive, such as "calculate_sum" or "sum_numbers".
- Modify the docstring to provide more information about the variables, such as "num1: first number" and "num2: second number".
- Add an additional variable at the beginning of the method to store the sum, and return this variable at the end of the method. This allows for more flexibility in how the result is used, as it can be printed or stored in a variable.
- Optional: consider adding input validation to ensure that the inputs are indeed numbers, and handle any potential errors or exceptions that may occur.
