What does the yum and -y means

new to fedora. please guide me.
the above code will install Apache server in fedora
yum is a software package manager that installs, updates, and removes packages on RPM-based systems. It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what things should occur to install packages. yum makes it easier to maintain groups of machines without having to manually update each one using rpm.
-y means that we did't want to gave yes to install any package (here httpd)
httpd installs apache web server
