In "package Ada.Calendar"..
function Clock return Time; // what is the type of Time here?
A string? A number? Something else?
"Time" has been declarated "private", this means it is untyped yet;
In other words, if I had to call the the function Year with the
argument Date, how should I do:
Date := The_Date; // for example: 11 dicember 2004
GetYear := Year(Date);
Thanks!
