at 8:29 in his video why does it print “main” for math/simple.py
doesnt the __ name __ variable print the name of the module hence simple should be printed instead of main
Modules doubt regarding __name__ variable
Hey @devchopra999_11c6416ab7f09bbf,
__name__ is a special variable which works as if the source file is executed as the main program, the interpreter sets the __name__ variable to have a value __main__ . If this file is being imported from another module, __name__ will be set to the module’s name.
