I have a simple question. I'm working on an Ada package I have received.

- Is it possible to covert a Boolean to Integer in an easy way
- Is it possible to covert an enum to Integer in an easy way

In the second question i typically have something like this:

   type My_Type is  (AB, CD, EF, GH, IJ);

Now, I have a declaration:

   MyTest : My_Type;

The result is stored in MyTest. I'm writing an interface to a C based 
program and I need to convert it to Integer. I'm new to Ada, so any hint 
would help.
