Can somebody explain to me how the whole Systematic (IUPAC) Naming system works?

I'm a curious 16 year old guy, interested about how it works.

Can somebody explain to me how the whole Systematic (IUPAC) Naming system works?
In IUPAC nomenclature, a number of prefixes, suffixes and infixes are used to describe the type and position of functional groups in the compound.





For many compounds, naming can begin by determining the name of the parent hydrocarbon and by identifying any functional groups in the molecule that distinguish it from the parent hydrocarbon. The name of the parent hydrocarbon is modified by the application of the highest-priority functional group suffix, with the remaining functional groups indicated by numbered prefixes, appearing in the name in alphabetical order from first to last.
