"Anyway, there seems to be an obvious omission in the ADA language.
The FOR loop does not have a "STEP" option. In order to perform a
loop function using a variable's range of values but in steps
greater than the variable kernel, you seem to have to use a WHILE
loop with the variable incremented within the loop by the step size.
Is there a more elegant way of doing this?"
It is not possible to answer questions like "I used feature X in
language Y, where is X in Ada?" in general. It is very helpful if
you post a small example problem where you don't know how to solve it
using Ada. Line-by-line translations to Ada of your Pascal programs typically
won't give very good results, since it is often necessary to look at the
problem from a slightly different perspective. This is the hardest
part in learning the language.
When you post an example, there is more context to provide you with
an elegant Ada solution.

Geert
