Evaluate the code below, and suggest ways to improve it past its basic function.
def find_sum(num1, num_2):
'''
Finds and returns sum of two numbers
'''
return num1 + num_2

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.

sum = num1 + num2
print("The sum is:", sum)
return sum
- Instead of returning the sum, the program now prints it onscreen.
- The docstring now includes a better description of the variables.
- The method is renamed to "calculate_sum" for better clarity.
- An additional variable "sum" is defined to store the sum, and this value is returned at the end.
These improvements provide better readability, clarity, and flexibility to the code.
