Re: C to Ada (static)

T.E.D said

"Ada doesn't have anything like static variables. To get the same
functionality, you will have to declare the variable globally
somewhere visible to that routine.

Example:

package body My_Package is

   Number : Integer;

   procedure My_Procedure is
   begin
      ...series of statements...
   end My_Procedure;

end My_Package;"

That could confuse. Number is not a global variable in the normal sense,
it is local to the package body and can be seen only from the package
body.
