Ada Excercises

Ada Excercises

[David Rasmussen]

I have been reading several tutorial documents on Ada, just to get a 
feel for it. Now I would like to get my fingers in some code to apply 
what I have read. Is there a tutorial with excercises somewhere, or just 
plain excercises?

Look at: http://www.adapower.com/ under "Learn Ada". There are lots of
resources at this website that could be helpful to you...

Have you looked at links at:
http://www.adapower.com/learn/

There are some possibilities to there.
If have have access to library with some Ada books, look at them.
Some of them (i.e. Norman Cohen's "Ada as a second language") have
exercises at the end of each chapter, so this can be also of use.

Hope that helps a bit,
Mike

Exercise:

Read and extend the program you find here:

   http://adahome.com/Tutorials/Lovelace/small.htm

Task:

   Try implement a "eat X" and "drink X" function that only works on the
   correct objects.

If you don't want to do that then either do the exercises in:

   http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je/adacraft/

for each chapter.

or

Make some small programs. you learn a lot that way. Especially about
designing. Hint make the .ads files first and use gnatstub to generate
the .adb files.

If you start a small program, then I recommend you make one that is
simple. I mean don't start with a GUI program etc... Of course this
depends on your experience as a programmer which I have no knowlegde
of.

Hope it helps.
