offcourse a type is defined as set of values and set of operations.

I find it very hard in Ada to visualize an tagged object. but I can 
easily visulaize a class object in Java or C++ becuase the class construct 
makes it easy for me to do that.

when I used Ada, I use it as an object-based (as opposed to object-oriented)
langauge, which is what Ada was originally designed as, I do not use Ada for 
its OO features. I like Ada as a procedural/object based, and for that it 
is great. plus I think all the OO/inhertence stuff is way overrated any way.

abstraction, data hiding, sepration of interfaces and implementaions, strong
typing, generics, good exception, good build-in tasking model, and all 
that good stuff is good enough for me. If I want to do heavy/pure
OO stuff, I would not use Ada, just becuase I am not used to the OO 
ways of Ada, it just too different from all the other OO languages 
out there (different in how its OO features are reprsented offcourse,
 the semactics are the same, but language representation (lexical
structure) is very important I think becuase it affect how one thinks
 and visualize things), and in that the class structure is more natural than
tagged records + procedures that takes paramters or returns paramters
of types of that record.

my 2 cents.
