Re: Formatting output

[cptnben@gisco.net (Ben)]

Actually it was a homework problem. This was the first assigned lab
from my 1999 Introductory Programming class (PASCAL). Now in my Junior
year, I am in an upper level Programming Languages course. Our final
project was to write a manual on an assigned language (mine was 35
pages) I got Ada. One of the things we have to do is give a 2.5 hour
presentation on the language, and assign homework based on your
presentation and manual. I recycled this lab since it is fairly
simple.  Now I am trying to convert it from the original PASCAL to Ada
so I can have a working program before I assign it with my
presentation in two weeks.
I should also correct my post by saying that FLOAT_IO is not used at
all in my current code.
Thanks,
Ben
