program to separate the real and imaginary

[jordan]

Dear all,
In Ada, if i want to input a complex number from the terminal like:
2+3i, 4-6i, -4-6i, 5i, 9
i want the program to separate the real part and the imaginary part, how
can i do???

does Ada have type conversion from string(character array) to Integer,
or something like?????

since i want to prgroam this task by store the input from the terminal
in a string(character array).......

Certainly. Take a look at the 'Value attribute, as well as package
Ada.Text_IO (ARM A.10). For dealing with complex numbers, you might want
to take a look at ARM Annex G as well.

If you don't have a copy of the Ada Reference Manual, you can find one
on-line at
