OK. I read your C++ example with care and interest. Then I compared it, once again, with the example I wrote. I wonder if you truly think the two examples are equlivalent in all respects. I must confess that, if the C++ example were an accurate representation of how one would solve this problem in that language, I would abandon C++ for all time. A key goal of Ada is to produce readable code, not simply writeable solutions in cryptic code. Who, upon encountering the C++ example in your post, would be able to quickly apprehend the meaning, the intent, or the result of this code? I rest my case. Richard Riehle
