Java File Reader with Line Numbers

This Java program reads a specified file and displays its contents on the screen with line numbers prefixed to each line. It handles file reading using BufferedReader and includes error handling for file access issues. The program requires a filename as a command-line argument and ensures proper resource management by closing the file reader after use.
