chmod +x makes a file executable. Without it, the operating system won't execute the code because it doesn't have the execute permission. It does the same thing as right clicking on the file and changing the permissions to allow it to execute.

thanks for the answer. Is it possible to overcome this? (automatically do this by the codes it self)
