You propably shouldn't write in Ada, as it has almost nothing to offer you. The benefit is exclusively ours: we may be able to read what you have written, if you've done it in Ada. And so may your project-partners. > if i program with good oo style, what does ada buy me that i > can not do in c? Ada is not an OOD-language; I'm positive that C++ is better for that field of programming. Ada is at its best in large projects, and you don't see many of those as hand-in exercises in the universities. But entering a univeristy, you should be prepared to study for life, not just for the exam. __ __ | \ | All opinions are my own, even if my employer claims otherwise! | \ | | | Leif Euren NobelTech Systems AB | \ | System Manager Rational S-175 88 JARFALLA |__ \__| tel: +46-758-84072 Sweden -- __ __ | \ | All opinions are my own, even if my employer claims otherwise! | \ | | | Leif Euren NobelTech Systems AB
