In this video we will look at the
ubiquitous yet mysterious line of code, If __name__ == "__main__" that pops up in many Python scripts. When I first started, I was wondering why we use __name__ == __main__. If __name__ == "__main__" is actually a way to check if your script is a script or module. If you don't understand that, don't worry, everything is explained in the video.
In this video, we will learn with clear examples why we use if __name__ == "__main__", what each of the components (__name__) and __main__ mean,
I give clear examples with animations to show what this line means,
as well as how to and when to use it and you should hopefully leave this video with a full grasp of the meaning behind the mysterious statment:
if __name__ == "__main__"
