This is not real code, it is pseudocode. It only describes the algorithm what the program should follow. It IS the explanation itself.

You'll probably get some negative feedback for this one. It's cool though. We all start somewhere. In regard to coding, I'm a beginner myself. The way your question will be interpreted by some is that you are passing your effort off on to them. I'm sure that's not what you're trying to do. It's just how it can be interpreted by some. Though, I think some people often forget how painful searching for answers online can be. Simple questions are usually answered with complex explanations that make no sense to a beginner like us. Two things I can recommend for the future: - Narrow down a problem as much as possible before asking for help - Be as specific as possible when asking for help In regard to narrowing down, what part of the code don't you understand? Do you know what "set" does? Do you know what a "while loop" is? If not, your next step should be to research and understand these specific concepts. Then if you get stuck, you'll have a specific question that people can help you with. For somebody to properly answer the general question of "what does each line of code do," they would have to explain variables, while loops, printing to console, etc. So you just need to be more specific. That's all. The lessons here should cover every aspect of your question above.
