I am not clear on your goals for this "competition".

It appears that you want a somewhat literal translation of the C
code, which is why you have rejected simply using the pre-defined
Is_Upper function.

The C example is particularly far away from an Ada solution that is
not merely attempting to write C code using Ada. Why do you want to
convert the command line input to an integer? It serves no practical
purpose in Ada.
