new window title in tkinter

I'm new to tkinter in python and am not able to figure out what the syntax below does exactly. 

oldtitle=window.newtitle()

Removing this line from the code doesn't makes any difference to the output. 

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
root=Tk()
root.title('to')
main=Toplevel(root)
tk=main.title()#<---this line
main.title('hello world')
mainloop()

What the line tk=main.title() does is to get the title of main.
Here is a demo using your own code:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
root=Tk()
root.title('to')
main=Toplevel(root)
main.title('hello world')
tk=main.title() # Note I moved this line to here
print(tk)       # This will print 'hello world'
mainloop()

The line print(tk) will print the title of main which is hello world.

If you want to set a different title then use this synatax instead: tk = main.title('Some new title') (or simply main.title('Some new title') if you do not need to save the title string into an other variable):

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
root=Tk()
root.title('to')
main=Toplevel(root)
main.title('hello world')
tk=main.title('Some new title') # or simply: main.title('Some new title') 
mainloop()

Output:

Note: avoid using tk as your personal variable name because the recommended way to import tkinter is: import tkinter as tk
