In this book you’re going to learn how to write programs in Ada, a general purpose programming language originally commissioned by the US Department of Defense.
The first standard for the Ada language was finalised in 1983 and was later revised to produce a new updated standard in 1995. The earlier version is now known as Ada 83 and the later version (the one covered in this book) as Ada 95.
Ada programs use a somewhat stilted kind of formal English in order to specify the operations you want the computer to perform. You provide some declarations which specify the objects that the program is going to deal with. You also provide a sequence of statements specifying the actions you want performed on those objects and the computer will perform them in order, one after the other.
A set of declarations together with a sequence of statements like this makes up a procedure which you invent a name for. For example, you might write a procedure which clears the screen and call it Clear_Screen.
