To improve code readability, the following is usually considered:
The code is written such that a person with poorer programming skills will be able to understand what is written.
Adding descriptive comments to explain every step of the way.
Using proper indentation and white spaces.
Choosing object\variable names that describe their purposes.
Referencing the algorithm and the responsible authors.
