 * Hello
    I have few lines of code in a theme, I did not understood, can anyone 
   explain me this. $screen = get_current_screen(); // understood this if ( $screen&&‘
   post’ == $screen->base && ‘page’ == $screen->id ) { // not sure about this line//
   code to execute something }
 * As per I have understood the code is executed when post type is post or page,
   I am not sure how, I need to add another custom post type ( playe r) in that 
   if statement.

 * I’ll write it in English.
    `if ( $screen && ‘post’ == $screen->base && ‘page’
   == $screen->id )` If the $screen variable has a value AND the $screen base equals‘
   post’ AND the $screen id equals ‘page’
 * Themes shouldn’t be doing things based on admin pages, or custom post types. 
   Put the code in a plugin.
