If its homework, the answer "Look in ARM appendix A.4.3 at the package
Ada.Strings.Fixed" is either an acceptable answer for the assignment - or it
doesn't illustrate an understanding of string/array manipulation algorithms.
In either case, it seems like a reasonable answer to give a student that
either a) solves the problem or b) points at a possible solution. (id est,
duplicate the "Move" procedure with your own code.)
Didn't really sound like homework - more like "Is there a pre-fab Ada answer
to a common programming need?" But students should know we don't do the work
for them - unless, of course, they can afford rather large consulting fees.
