> How can you handle address-of-operator (&) in Ada. (Mary)

I think you should write "address-of operator",
                                    ^
or simply "address operator".

Ada access types serve most pointer necessities. In this vein, the 
Ada expression X'Access is the equivalent of the C expression &X (X being
an object).

I dont remember using & in function prototypes from my C days, but I may be
wrong (I do not have K&R at hand).
