Swift

import Foundation

// Determine the file name
let filename = "main.swift"

// Read the contents of the specified file
let contents = try! String(contentsOfFile: filename)

// Split the file into separate lines
let lines = contents.split(separator:"\n")

// Define a variable to track the current line number
// Iterate over each line and print the line preceded
// by the line number
var lineNumber = 1
for line in lines {
    print("\(lineNumber): \(line)")
    lineNumber += 1
}

Python

file_path = 'main.py'

            line_number += 1
