<<Excellent point, which I missed. It is definitely more important to
learn the fundamentals. On the other hand, if your learning control
structures, and you want to print a diagnostic message that is built
from several strings, Unbounded_Strings are nice.>>
What's wrong with Put_Line ("value of x is " & Integer'Image (X) & ....) ..
<<As I thought. So Dale (if you're still reading :), will you be pointing
out that using Unbounded_String does have a big downside? When you get
to teaching about dynamic memory allocation and managment, you could
point out that they've been doing it all along without thinking about
it, just like a lot of professional programmers!.>>
What big downside? What's wrong with using Controlled types here, it is
certainly the intended and expected implementation!
