Sorry, but which part isn't clear to you? All three arguments? address/account/amount ??– SkyCommented Jan 12, 2022 at 9:43

I had seen other mint functions before. But this one is a bit unusual. However, as far as I can read this all three variables have a clear definition.
Address(0) -> Is null address, and the function is making sure you do not mint coins on null address, as any tokens minted there would be invalid/unusable by default.
Account -> Is a valid address to which you mint new tokens
Ammount -> Is literally the number of tokens you mint. For example, if the ammount=100, then you had just minted 100 of them. (For ERC20 tokens you might need to add 10*18 to that number, but that is another story)
