You use of Text_IO.Get with a floating point type requires the instantiation
of a generic:

     package My_Float_IO is new Text_IO.Float_IO (Float);
     use My_Float_IO;

Numeric types can be anything (temperature, class_avg, etc).  Float is just
the one provided.  In other words, if you had declared a floating type like
the following:

     type Temperature is digits 6;
     ...
     package Temp_IO is new Text_IO.Float_IO (Temperature);
     use Temp_IO;

You could then use "Get" with type "Temperature".

(Be sure and give me credit on your homework assignment :-) )
