You did not even come close.

In ada, when you declare a type of a restricted range, the compiler and run-time
will check that variables of such type can have values in that range only.

There is no such thing in C++ (nor in Java for that matter). Unless you 
code it yourself for every case and condition to do what the Ada compiler
and run-time allready does automatically.
