[Tutor] Help please!

[Victoria Homsy]

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()

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
