But the OP didn't ask anybody to "show the crucial differences between C
and Ada"; he asked for a simple half-page C function to be translated
into Ada, which is a perfectly reasonable request.  I started to do it
myself, but others have answered that question, so he got more-or-less
what he asked for.  He also got "we can't translate simple C into simple
Ada -- we need to create a hugely complicated mess", and he also got
"you dope, how dare you ask about Ada when you don't already know Ada".
Sigh.
