Subject: Ada as a beginning language

Message-ID: <1993Mar18.033431.12194@ariel.ec.usf.edu> (raw)
I am a Computer Science student at the University of South Florida in
Tampa. We now use Ada as the intro programming language for the program.
I have been formally taught Pascal, C, adn Assembly and do most of my
programming in Think Pascal, in which I am most comfortable. From
what I have used Ada for (remember it IS and intro class) it seem very
similar to Pascal other than the extremly tight type checking.
I would like anyones option on Ada as the first/intro language for Computer
Science. My option is that the strong types, and other structures frustates
new programers, as many of my classmates have been. (and why is 0/=0.0?)
Thanks to all.
