HI all,

I am a beginner in the ada language.I have an short piece of code.Can anyone please tel me what does it mean?

type Myarr_Type is array (Character) of Character;

  Myarr : Myarr_Type;
  C1 : character := character'first;
  C2 : character := character'last;

My question is 1)What does C1 and C2 contain according to the above code?

Please do excuse if this is really silly.I dont have an ada compiler to check the contents of this variable

Regards Maddy

It needs to be accurate and it needs to return a float for precision. So how do I determine the modulus of a Float in Ada 95? elapsed := time_taken mod… >>> More
