thats my problem i do not know how to design it, i am fairly new to ADA,
heck i am new to programming.

i did some pseudo code for the calculator program from the online book, just
to get my head round it :-

BEGIN
enter expression
get input

    start main loop

         start nested loop
              get operator symbol
                  if there is a 'space' character end the loop
         end nested loop

    if 'full stop' character show answer of expression, exit main loop
    else
    get number
    if + -> result := result + number
    if - -> result := result - number
    if * -> result := result * number
    if / -> result := result / number

    end main loop

end main program


do you think that is alright ?

are there any other ways of designing this calculator program ? maybe use
arrays ?
