Hi , i have a code with a procedure call and i got the following errors , i understand them but i don't know how to fixe them :

You say that you understand the error messages.  What do they mean?

Thanks , i learn with many textbooks , but right now , i'm trying to use the fonctions in Ada.text_io(like Ada.float_text_IO.Get) right .

They say so much more than that.

First: The error messages point out that there are two procedures which
       match the name Identification.Get, one declared on line 7 and one
       declare on line 8 in the specification of the package
       Identification.

Second: They point out that if you want to call the one declared on line
        7, the formal parameter Password is missing, and that if you
        want to call the one declared on line 8, the formal parameter
        From is missing.

I don't want to copy-paste your source text to an editor.  I want you to
format it properly (standard indentation for example), so it is easy to
read.

But it appears that you haven't learnt enough Ada to use them yet.

Yes , but i still don't know how to fix them . It will be simple if you explain me how to fix those errors instead of just explain the errors , by a code .

Do you understand what parameters are?
When you call a subprogram which has parameters, you have to supply actual data items for *each* of them.

procedure P (X: Integer; Y: Float);  -- declaration

P (X => 42);   -- illegal call, Y missing
P (42, 10.0);  -- call OK, both parameters suppllied

Thank you, that exactly my problem , i want to use the procedure Ada.text_io.get and supply in my body package those items needed . The point is there are several of them(without File management) : 

procedure Get
     (Item  : out Num;
      Width : Field := 0);

procedure Get
     (From : String;
      Item : out Num;
      Last : out Positive);

There is also

procedure Get(File : in File_Type; Item : out Num; Width : in Field := 0);

If you've read the descriptions of these procedures in the ARM (ARM A.10.9) then
you should know what each one does, and which one you want.

http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/standards/12rm/html/RM-A-10-9.html

You should be familiar with the standard library described in ARM Annex A if
you're going to use Ada.

The first one reads from standard input (the ARM doesn't explicitly say
this), and leaves standard input positioned after the last character of
the float number read.

The second one reads from the string From, and Last contains "the index
value such that From(Last) is the last character read" (not sure if
that's the last character of the number, or one past it, I'd have to
experiment).

So which do you want?

The first one because i don't want procedure get to read a String , i only want it to read a float input enter by the user of the program .

The first one because i don't want procedure get to read a String , i only want it to read a numeric_literal(float input) enter by the user of the program .

Well then,

      F : Float;
   begin
      Get (Item => F);

Ok i tried without : "Width : Field := 0" , like you.
But still it doesn't compile , see errors as comments .
Here is files with correction :

================
with Ada.Text_IO;
with Identification;

  --  File  : log_in.adb  

Procedure log_in is

   Password : Identification.Password_Value;
   
   begin

   Identification.Get (Password => Password);
   
if Password = "admin" then
      Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line (Item => "Welcome, Administrator.");
   end if;
    Identification.receive_float;
    -- missing argument for parameter "Item" in call to "receive_float" declared at identification.ads:10
    if virgules'Valid then 
        Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line("A float number was not asked") ;
end if;			end log_in;
=================
with Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.float_text_IO;

    --  File  :  identification.adb
    
package body identification is

procedure receive_float 

virgules : Float ;

begin
       Get (Item => virgules ); 
      Ada.Text_IO.Skip_Line;

end receive_float;

procedure Get (Password : out Password_Value ) is

begin
Ada.Text_IO.Put (Item => "Hello, User. What's your name? ");

Get_Name : declare
         Name : String := Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line;
      begin 
         if Name /= "fanzine" then
            Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line (Item => "You're not Administrator.");
	    receive_float;
         else 
            Ada.Text_IO.Get (Item => Password); 
            Ada.Text_IO.Skip_Line;
            Ada.Text_IO.New_Line;
         end if;
   end Get_Name; 
	    
end Get;

end identification;
=======================
package identification is

   subtype Password_Value is String (1..5);
   
   procedure Get (Password : out Password_Value);
   
   procedure receive_float (Item  : out virgules);
  --  "virgules" is undefined (more references follow)

end identification;

OK i had correct my files and i also rename the procedure "Get_float" by "receive_float" , my problem is how to declare a variable in a packagefile.ads ??

More precisely : I don't want to declare "virgules" in my "log_in" file but in my "identification.ads" file .

If you read the files you will understand :

==================
with Ada.Text_IO;
with Identification;

  --  File  : log_in.adb  

Procedure log_in is

   Password : Identification.Password_Value;

   begin

   Identification.Get (Password => Password);
   
if Password = "admin" then
      Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line (Item => "Welcome, Administrator.");
   end if;
   Identification.receive_float(virgules);
   --  error : "virgules" is undefined (more references follow)
   --  Ok but then how to defined it into identification.ads ??
   --  I tried like this : "virgules : Float" . But it doesn't work .
    if virgules'Valid then
        Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line("A float number was not asked") ;
end if;                        end log_in;
===========================
with Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.float_text_IO;

  -- file : identification.ads
  
package identification is

   subtype Password_Value is String (1..5);
   
   procedure Get (Password : out Password_Value);
      
   procedure receive_float (virgules : float);

end identification;
======================
with Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.float_text_IO;

    --  File  :  identification.adb
   
package body identification is

procedure receive_float (virgules : float) is
virgules : Float ;

begin
      Ada.float_text_IO.get(Item => virgules);
      Ada.Text_IO.Skip_Line;

end receive_float;

procedure Get (Password : out Password_Value ) is

begin
Ada.Text_IO.Put (Item => "Hello, User. What's your name? ");

Get_Name : declare
         Name : String := Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line;
      begin
         if Name /= "codezero1" then
            Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line (Item => "You're not Administrator.");
            receive_float;
         else
            Ada.Text_IO.Get (Item => Password);
            Ada.Text_IO.Skip_Line;
            Ada.Text_IO.New_Line;
         end if;
   end Get_Name;
            
end Get;

end identification;

So do it!

Well, I don't.

You really need to work through one of the tutorials, for example the
Lovelace tutorial you've already been pointed at.

You were also recommended to format your code nicely. At the moment it's
quite painful to look at.

One learns how to use a tool by understanding how it works, not by getting 
someone else to give you the answers. What happens the next time you have a 
similar problem?? When you start using Ada for a real project, do you think 
that your boss would be happy if you need someone else to show you the 
solution??
