hello

i am new to ADA and being a math guy am trying to create a program that
takes 3 inputs from a user, them being a starting integer, a stopping
integer, and an indicated length. the goal of the program is to
determine the sociable pair in the range with the required length.

For example. user inputs following
Start = 12000, Stop = 15000 and Length = 30

program would output
This chain is 3 in
length.
12285
14595
12285
This chain is 6 in
length.
12496
14288
15472
14536
14264

This chain is 6 in
length.

This chain is 6 in
length.
14288

14536
14264
12496
14288
This chain is 29 in
length.

notice that the final number in the chain is always equal to the
starting number. this is called a sociable chain. can anybody help me
in creating a program that would do this.

thank you
