Hi, I'm very new to Ada and was trying to see if it offers double precision type. I see that we have float and

Put( Integer'Image( Float'digits ) );

on my machine gives a value of 6, which is not enough for numerical computations.

Does Ada has double and long double types as in C?

Thanks a lot...

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. However, I am yet to see a similar program in Ada. Has anyone come across one ? Kind regards Arkaprav… >>> More
