In this challenge, you will practice improving code readability by refactoring a poorly written Python function. Apply the **clean code principles** you have learned, such as using **meaningful names**, organizing code logically, and making your code easy to follow. Focus on making the function **clear** and **maintainable** for anyone who might read or modify it in the future.
