What is the best way to describe this program with instructions written above each function so that other programmers understand the program for this simple C++ program?

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <limits> 
 
 
using namespace std;
 
string mixColors(int color1, int color2) {
string mixedColor;
 
        if ((color1 == 0 && color2 == 1) || (color1 == 1 && color2 == 0)) {
            mixedColor = "purple";
        } else if ((color1 == 0 && color2 == 2) || (color1 == 2 && color2 == 0)) {
            mixedColor = "orange";
        } else if ((color1 == 1 && color2 == 2) || (color1 == 2 && color2 == 1)) {
            mixedColor = "green";
        } else {
            mixedColor = "No Mix";
        }

    mixedColor = mixColors(color1, color2);
        
        // below is where input inside do while loop is writ to .txt file
        outputFile << "Mixed color for your selection (" << color1 << " and " << color2 << ") is " << mixedColor << endl;
