If name equals main - then we run our programs! But do we actually understand what is __name__ , what is __main__ and most of all - why do we need to check if they match?
I've prepared this very special tutorial that dives deep into each component and demonstrates it thorough simple code examples. By the end of this video - you'll be able to explain this expression in your own words (!!!) as well as other terms like "module" and even "top level code"
