Hi everyone,

I'm trying to compare C++ to Ada. I'm looking specifically at Ada's
lack of 'initializers'. I am guessing that this means there is no
'constructor' to Ada packages maybe? If that's the case - where do you
initialize anything that needs setup when it comes into existence?

Thanks,
Mark
