Line numbers (2022-04-28 00:37 by Maury Markowitz #89631)

I am reading the document here:

https://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA008683/english/FullBASIC.html

It states:

As the structured control instructions are prepared, we can describe the flow of a program without depending on line numbers.

When I look at the standards documents, I see that all lines start with a number. But the examples in the same document sometimes show line numbers, some don't. It is not clear whether these are immediate mode examples or something else entirely.

True Basic, the only one of these I have used, did not require any numbers at all.

Can someone help explain this?

Programs compliant with the Full BASIC standard must have line numbers in all lines.
Full BASIC Implementations compliant with the standard must accept programs with line numbers, but they may accept programs with no line numbers.
