And it was a good thing, indeed. If you can't figure out how to code well enough to get past Ada's compile-time errors, it's a pretty strong proof you're not cut out for a job in programming (and I shudder to think of what kind of machines or bridges you'll design) and also not surprised you like C++ which will do what you said and not what you meant, all without letting you know. (I didn't mean to quote Jeffrey's post, but I didn't see the OP.)
