Code:
<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 ##Html Code##
<?php endif; ?>
what does it mean?

I think
if(have_post()) <--- It mean "If I have post,it return value "true" so
While(have_posts()) will be do but it return value "false" the_post() will do.

I see some clip "how to make wordpress theme" but i don't understand this code what does is mean?

    The mentioned PHP code snippet isn't correct (returns errors when being parsed), the correct could look like this

    Code:
    <?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); endwhile; ?> 
##Html Code## 
<?php endif; ?>
    ("endwhile" closing statement was missing). I.e., if have_posts() returns true, do in loop the_post() while it's still true, after that insert the enclosed HTML.
