(why a variable?)

=...put it in a variable?=
Why does it need to be put in a variable? It appears that none of the first three implementations actually do that. --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] 00:14, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
::I know what you mean. If we are going to read a line within a program, we need to be able to store what we have read in order to make use of it. A variable would usually be a good place. I could add "or in memory for future use within the program", but I am open to suggestions, if you think we need something else. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 00:45, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
