I just wanted to say that I found your suggestions for code changes to 
be very insightful and important.

But because the point of this small example was for me to learn how to 
use complex numbers in Ada and compare it to Fortran, and not worry too 
much at this time about optimization, I did not modify the code as you 
suggested.

In addition, if I changeed the Ada code, I would have to change the 
Fortran code to keep it similarly structured as the Ada code, and I did 
not want to go down that path.

That is the only reason, and for no other.
