auto result = function(3);
if(result == 42)
{
    otherFunction(3);
    return 42;
}
return -1;

/*
What the numbers of this code mean?
Are the two ’42’ same information?
Is the parameter of otherfunction 3 because function also takes 3 as a parameter?
When returning -1, is it an error code, or something else ?

Those can be a few of the questions about the numbers that you can ask
yourself when looking at such a code.The main problem of such number
is that you have no idea of what they represent, which make the
understanding of the code harder for new comers, or for people used to the
code base too.
