Pick up a copy of Dr. Dobb's magazine. Look for the advertisement for PC
lint by Gimpel Software. You will find a small piece of 'C' code that
is typically less than 10 lines long that has a hidden bug. These bugs
are typically very subtle and related to the subtle nature of the language.
These kinds of bugs are practically non-existant in Ada. So... you won't
find yourself puzzling for hours over 10 lines of code.
They're lots of other advantages of Ada, but this is a pretty good simple
example.
I hope this helps,
