Hello all! I have a very simple question but I'm very new to python. Could you describe to me what the following piece of Python code says in English please?def print_a_line(line_count, f): print line_count, f.readline()
This function accepts two passed parameters, then prints the first, and reads and prints one line from the second. Obviously, to work the first must be printable, and the second must provide a readline method.
*IF* you believe that the names selected accurately represent the intent of the function, you may come to the type of conclusions you reach below.

I understand that line_count counts the number of lines in the Python prog, and that we are creating a function, and that 'f' stands for file etc, but I can't get my head around what the function does. Many thanks in advance! Best, Victoria
