Is there a way to reference the line number in algorithm 2e?

Question

Say I have algorithm appear as followed

Is it possible to reference the line number using ~\ref or any other possiblities?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible. :)Use the normal \label command in the line you want to refer (page 4 of the algorithm2e manual), then use \ref to display the line number.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[linesnumbered]{algorithm2e}

\begin{document}

Line \ref{alg:goto} is important.

\vspace{2em}

\begin{algorithm}[H]
\KwData{this text}
\KwResult{how to write algorithm with \LaTeX2e }
initialization\;
\While{not at end of this document}{
read current\;
\eIf{understand}{
go to next section\;\label{alg:goto}
current section becomes this one\;
}{
go back to the beginning of current section\;
}
}
\end{algorithm}

\end{document}

The output:
