But there was no mention of the cash reward for providing this sort of
consulting service! "Sixty five? Whew! I never worked so cheap... except for
once, and that was a very noble cause."

I suppose it is bad enough that someone would come out with a fairly blatant
request to get their homework done for them, but to add insult to injury,
there isn't even any description of what the homework is. I suppose I could
send him a program that does a quicksort on a bunch of integers and say
"here's your homework - go ahead and hand it in..." and that would meet the
spec!

FWIW: We can be helpful with homework around here, but a) we won't do it for
you, b) you have to come to us with specific questions & sufficient
information and c) you have to show some reasonable evidence of having tried
to find the answers for yourself.

When the entirety of your posted message reads:

"Can someone could help me with my homework???

Thanx!

Blackbelt_Mbr@hotmail.com

and i will send you my homework"


_No_one_ is going to help you with your homework.

comp.lang.ada is a technical exchange forum, not a tutoring service. 
Review and follow Marin's "Student Guidelines for Homework Assistance"
and you'll find this group quite willing to assist.

You should re-read the guidelines I noted in my post. If you don't meet
those guidelines, you can expect all sorts of abuse on this or any other
technical newsgroup from those of us who firmly believe that education
cannot take place by having other people do your work for you.

You have posted no code and you have no specific questions. Just a general
plea for help. We all have "real" jobs to do so we are not in the business
of being tutors or teachers. (You should be able to get that kind of help
from your school.) The kind of question you posted is typical of students
who are looking for someone to hand them a working program instead of help
solving problems - anticipate abuse for that sort of thing.

Look over your homework as you have it now and try to figure out what it is
you *don't* know how to do. Post a piece of your code that is not working.
Be specific about what computer you are working on, what operating system
you are using and what compiler you are using. We are more than happy to
look over some reasonably small chunk of code with specific questions in
mind and try to get you an answer to your problems. We do not have time to
pour over thousands of lines of code to try to figure out what it is you
aren't doing correctly. Be *specific* and you will get help. (Your subject
line is a good indication that you are *not* being specific - you have no
particular question in mind so you won't get help. Repost something with a
subject line like "How do I perform I/O for integers?" with an example of
what you have attempted & I'll bet you'll get all sorts of help.)

BTW: Isn't there a FAQ somewhere for this newsgroup that specifically
pointed these things out to students?

Any time you walk into a room and ask people for something, you should probably
know a little about them first, so you can word the request in a way that is
liable to get a good response. If you don't do that, you are just a likely to
tick them off as anything.

Well consider that this newsgroup is mostly made up of two kinds of people:
Professors, who wouldn't do an entire assignment for you out of principle
(solidarity or something), and that geek or two in your class who does their
assignment the day its given out and keeps happily polishing it until the day
its due, but all grown up. Ask them to do all your work, and they are liable to
get resentful (after all, they did all their *own* work). But ask them a
specific technical or syntax question, and they'll jump at the chance to show
off their blazingly superior intellect. :-)

> i put my package but i need to call all the function in
>one procedure or function named Date_Valide

Well, now we are getting somwhere. It looks like you may just have a simple
syntax question, if we could ever get to it. Why not just post snippets of that
code, and address your questions to it? If you are really stuck in such a
general manner that you can't show it in a few lines of code, you really ought
to go to your instructor or teacher's assistant for help. After all, you are
probably paying big bucks to go to this school (which you might be repaying for
years to come). You might as well get your money's worth out of them.

While I understand and sympathize with the sentiments
of those responding, if you're assuming that he's
asking for us to do his homework.

But, if you look a little closer at the question,
overcome the language barrier just a little, and not
assume the worst, I think you'll see his actual
question was more like:

  "Is anyone willing to help me?  If so, then I'll
  send you the problems I'm having."

Hi plink,

For a total beginner, my recommendation is "Ada 95: The Craft of
Object-Oriented Programming" by John English. It is available online
here[1]; there are several other books[2].  In your first reading, you
can skip the part about tasking; instead, you should then learn about
the standard Ada.Containers that were added in Ada 2005; the Ada 2005
Rationale[3] contains a good introduction to them in Chapter 8.

[1] http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je/adacraft/
[2] http://www.adaic.org/learn/materials/
[3] http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/standards/05rat/html/Rat-TOC.html

As for getting a compiler and development environment for your
computer, see the extensive list[4] in the Ada Programming
wikibook[5]:

[4] http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Installing
[5] http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming

I realize this is a lot of material; hopefully this is all you will
need to learn the basics of language.  Feel free to come back here on
comp.lang.ada if you have any more questions.

Hope this helps
