Ada is a modern programming language suitable for those application areas which benefit from the discipline of organized development, that is, Software Engineering; it is a general purpose language with special applicability to real-time and embedded systems. Ada was originally developed by an international design team in response to requirements issued by the United States Department of Defense [DoD 78].
A computer programming language is used by a programmer to express the solution to a problem in terms that the computer system can understand. The chapter looks at how to solve a small problem using the computer programming language Ada 95.
