Line number
In computing, a line number is a way of specifying a point in a file by enumerating each line in the file by a number. Line numbers were a required element of syntax in older programming languages such as BASIC. The primary reason for this is that computers at the time lacked interactive text editors; since the programmer's interface was usually limited to a line editor, line numbers provided a mechanism by which earlier lines in the program could be referenced for editing, and by which the programmer could insert a new line at a specific point in the program. Line numbers also provided a convenient means of distinguishing between code to be entered into the program and commands to be executed immediately when entered by the user (which do not have line numbers).
