It's my first day with Ada. heard many wonderful things about it. i'm not studying programming, but i've done basic C before. obviously i've read and managed to compile the infamous Hello World! i have a beginners book on Ada, it keeps referring to student_io package name for the exercises and examples which is not known to gnat. i need to know what package name to use whilst handling text, calculations,strings and so on beyond text_io (which handles strings only i suppose). in future how do i know of the list of package names to use and what it is for? thanks.
