Here are a few hints:
  In Ada assignment is done with the ":=" operator not "=".
  The only value permitted as the condition of an if statement is an
expression that evaluates to a boolean.
  Labels end with a colon, the beginning of a loop does not.
  If you try compiling the program, most compilers will direct you to these
simple errors.
  If your program is small, go ahead and post a working example, you'll
generally get a better response that way.  If your program is large, try
creating a small version that reproduces just the part you have in question.
