Ok, I'd like your opinion on this before the assignment is due . . .
I'm a Computer Engineering Major in my first Ada course, and we have a
lab assignment due Thursday that is not complicated, just uses a few
procedures, etc. The problem is, I've programmed since HS (using c++,
only an amateur), but my only advantage is an addiction to "proper
style." My dilemma is this: we have not yet learned to implement
RECORDs. To do this program justice, I could:
(1): Put everything in the program declarations and throw global
variables across namespace.
(2): Declare a record, encapsulate with packages, etc.
We didn't learn this in class yet, but I learned it on my own and used
it. Now I'm proud of my program, but I'm worried. Do you think my lab
instructor will be annoyed that I skipped a few chapters ahead? (I'm not
doing this for brownie points, just something I wanted to do.)
Just wondering, my $.02 . . .
(and interested to see the results of this discussion. Feel free
to post replies to the newsgroup; I'll see them :-)
