hello,
suppose I have a variable of some enumeration type, and I want to
print or find the position number in the enumeration type that this
variable holds. How can do that?
for example:
-----------
with Ada.Text_Io; use Ada.Text_Io;
procedure Enum is
type Day_type is (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday);
Day Day_Type := Monday;
begin
Put_Line("the position number of first enumeration elemenet is " &
Day_type'Image( ???? ) );
end Enum;
---------------
I know that the first enumeration literal will have a position of 0. But
I just wanted to see if one can print this value. I looked at the attributes
of scalar data types, and do not see something like S'pos ?
thanks,
mike
