I need an array of 820 zeors for using with a mathematical function.

In C I could just write the following and the compiler would fill the array:

 const float EMPTY_NUMBER_A[820] = { 0.0, };

However in Ada that isn't possible. I really don't want to hard code the 820 elements as 0.0. Is there a way to get the compiler to do it?

 type Number_A is array (1 .. 820) of Float;
 EMPTY_NUMBER_A : constant Number_A := something;

Using Ada 95 and GNAT.

How to determine the modulus of a Float in Ada 95

I need to determine the amount left of a time cycle. To do that in C I would use fmod. But in ada I can find no reference to a similar function. It needs to be accurate and it needs to return a float for precision. So how do I determine the modulus of a Float in Ada 95? elapsed := time_taken mod… >>> More

Dear Friends ! I have very definitively come across the 'simulating a 6-faced die' (which produces a random integer between 1 and 6, all outcomes are equally probable) in Java, Python, Ruby and Bash.
