Vulpes your explanation needed

Question

Vulpes! Remember the project we worked on, the card one? Well i received a 90! So i am happy, thank you.
But teacher asked me about ( the code below ), and I couldn't really explain how it works, and I completely forgot to ask you to explain it to me how it does work, so could you explain to me how it works?
So that's about it, we have two project left to do and the semester is over, I honestly cant wait for it to be over, I am all stressed out about my final grades.
