I am a person studying Ada at my spare time (and, sorry, using comp.lang.ada
very much as a learning source).
I like your example, too. It shows both recursion and string handling,
thanks for that. To me the example would have been even more revealing if
the Put statement had been written
Put(Character'Val(Character'Pos ('0') + N mod 10));
