The translated= code needs some rework, but it might save you some work in the end. > _________________________ > Gautier's Ada programming > http://sf.net/users/gdemont/ Unfortunately, I'm using the 3rd edition of the Numerical Recipes book, whi= ch is C++-only. Also, I only have access to the book, not the code archive. Besides, something which I may not have made clear enough is that this is m= ostly a personal exercise to work a bit on my Ada skills, not a project whi= ch I need to finish quickly for work or anything like that. So in this cont= ext, it makes more sense for me to carefully walk through the code, examine= ways I could re-write it to use more idiomatic Ada constructs, have some f= un with Ada 2012 contracts, and overall take my time.
