The person assisting added things to my code but did not explain what they were for or why they are needed. An whats worse is they are incomplete as well. Leaving me confused..

Why was $"$if name $=="\_\_$main$\_\_"$:$"$ added? Why is it necessary? I tried to add a main earlier and it produced nothing at all. But this just gives me an error saying "NameError: name 'name' is not defined".

Im not opposed to an addition but if I dont know what its for or whyit was added an it was added incorrectly it how would this help?
