if __name__ == '__main__':
...a. This is a conditional statement that allows you to control the running of a certain piece of code depending on how the script is run (directly, indirectly). The built-in variable __name__ stores the name of the current module. If the module is run indirectly, it takes the value __main__. If a module is run directly, the built-in variable __name__ takes the name of the module.
