I'm new to Ada, and was wondering if it is possible for the size of arrays to be
determined at run time.
For example, many years ago it was possible to say in BASIC something like :
10 INPUT A
20 INPUT B
20 DIM(A,B)
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks Marcel

The equivalent in Ada would go something like:
A, B : Positive;
..
Pos_IO.Get(A);
Pos_IO.Get(B);
declare
type Some_Dynamic_Array_Type is array (1 .. A, 1 .. B) of Some_Object;
C : Some_Dynamic_Array_Type;
begin
..
Notice I said "Something" like, since (1) I don't have an Ada compiler on
this machine and (2) there's several other ways (all better, I'm sure) for
creating C and (3) it's been a long time since I wrote any BASIC.
