loops

HI all,

     Below is  a piece of code shown and doubts are regarding the implementation of loops
               C := character'last;
               I := 1;
               K : loop
               Done := C = character'first;
               Count2 := I;
               Exit K when Done;
               C := character'pred(c);
               I := I + 1;
               end loop K;

               Can anyone please tell me what does 'K' stands for.I guess its not a   variable.How does 'K' control the execution of the loop?

               Thanks
               Maddy

How to determine the modulus of a Float in Ada 95

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
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
