NOTE: The answers to some of these questions may be found in the code samples you have seen. You may find others in our text book and still others on the Web. The best source of information is the Ada Information Clearing House (fondly called AdaIC) whose web address is on the useful URL page. Required parts of answers are in red. Additional information is in blue.

1. What is the last line in a Ada program?	end <procedure_name>; Jgrasp doesn’t appear to require the procedure name but I do
2. How many reserved words are there in Ada?	63 in Ada 83 or in Ada 95 69 List
3. What is the assignment operator in Ada?	:=
4. What is the Ada equivalent of the FORTRAN DO loop?	the for loop for <lcv> in <start>..<finish> loop ... – Ada requires the loop end loop even if there’s only a single statement in the loop; Pascal only required the begin end if there were multiple statements <end loop>;
5. What other types of loops does Ada have?	loop ... end loop; potentially infinite loop; can get out with an exit or an exit when (<condition>) ada loops can have names associated with them often used when loops are nested and programmer wants to exit from more than the nearest surrounding loop while (<condition>) loop ... end loop;
6. What is the function of a semi-colon in Ada?	statement terminator remember that in Pascal, the semi-colon was a separator and that in FORTRAN the end of the line (i.e. card) was the statement terminator unless there was a continuation card.
7. In FORTRAN, parameters were passed by reference. In Pascal they were passed by value (copy in) or by reference (var). How are they passed in Ada (i.e. what are the parameter modes)	in - which is copy in out – which is copy out in out – which is copy in / copy out Note: this looks like pass by reference in most cases. Pass by reference passes an address
8. FORTRAN had two types of subprograms and so did Pascal, how many does Ada have?	two
9. What are the Ada subprograms called?	procedures and functions Note: packages are not callable – and are not subprograms. They are “withed” The “with” is like an “include” in C or an “import’ in Java
10. Who is responsible for the development of the Ada programming language?	The Department of Defense -Jean Ichbiah was the leader of the team whose design was the final one.
11. What was the intended use for the Ada programming language?	real time embedded systems
12. What are the discrete data types in Ada?	integers, booleans, characters, enumeration
13. What are the structured data types in Ada?	arrays, records these have component parts
14. What other data type is there in Ada?	access types, real real includes both fixed and float
15. What do you need to include in your program in order to be able to input or output text in Ada?	with ada.text_io; you do not need use ada.text_io; you can always use a fully qualified reference and in this class you should NOT use use clases.
16. Write the Ada code that would declare a new type called vegetable that consists of the vegetables carrots, peas, beans, zucchini.	type vegetable is (carrots, peas, beans, zucchini); the order in which the vegetables appear is entirely up to the programmer but once entered, the order is significant. Peas is the succ of carrots and the pred of beans. Ada types have attributes associated with them and pred, succ, ord, val, first, last are attributes associated with enumerated types.
17. Write the statement you would need in your program to be able to read and write values of type vegetable. You may assume that your program already has with ada.enumerated_text_io; at the top.	package <name> is new ada.eumerated_text_io (vegetable); this is an example of an instantiation. You do not need a use clause. The instantiation for integers has been done for you in Ada 95, you had to do it yourself in Ada 83.
18. Is it legal to have the same value as an element of two different enumerated types in Ada? (i.e. can you have the following two type declarations in the same program? type trafficLight is (red, green, yellow); type crayon is (red, orange, blue);	Yes a variable declared to be a trafficLight can not be assigned the value of orange or blue. Likewise a variable declared to be a crayon can not be assigned the value of green or yellow. Each type needs a separate instantiation in order to read or write values of the type.
19. In Ada, which has higher precedence and or or? or do they have equal precedence?	they have equal precedence And has higher precedence in Pascal. What about in FORTRAN?
