What are the distributions of the lower and upper bounds? What is the distribution of representable values, i.e., the difference between the upper and lower bounds. To what extent do developers use subranges, instead of the basic integer type? Can anybody point me at any empirical analysis of Ada or Pascal source code? Thanks.
