I posted a question here a few days ago about Ada TYPEs, but it seems
many people didn't understand the actual problem I was having.
I have since then found the answer that I needed (but not wanted)
what I originally asked was (is there any way to do this)
make a type definition that looks something like this:
type X is (array, .....)
i was not trying to define something of an array. What I wanted
was a new type "X" that could take on a value "array" or whatever
else is in the list. But the problem was that array is a keyword
(reserved) therefore I couldn't do what I wanted, the only alternative
that I have been able to come up with is:
defining X as an array of string
x(1):= "array "
x(2):= "whatever "
.
.
.
Thanks for all of the responses!
Just thought I would clear up some of the confusion to my original
question
