As a student, the transition from Pascal to Ada was not very difficult. Ada encourages and allows code that is more like pseudocode. This involves a few more rules than Pascal. Thus, it is at first a bit more difficult to get used to (e.g. having three different types of strings), but it makes the program easier to follow and logically easier to design. It is not an overly complex language, it just has many features that are perhaps at first a bit overwhelming, but in the end lend to better programs. Dan Moran morandd @ whitman.edu P.S.
