Hi all,

    I have pasted a code below which is in ada language.I need some clarification on some implementations.

               C  : character;

Char : character; type Myarr_Type is array (character range 'A'..'K') of character; Myarr : Myarr_Type := ('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K');

   Next_Address := Myarr'address
   Last_Address := Next_Address + Storage_Offset'(40);
    my_func(int P1,int P2)
   {
          return P2 + Storage_Offset'(4);

   } 

Last_Address := Next_Address + Storage_Offset'(4);

Now my doubt is 1)what does P2 + Storage_Offset'(4) actually mean.Does that mean that its returning the address of the next element in the array which is 'B'.Storage_Offset'(4) in ada --does this mean 4 bits or 4 bytes of memory. 2) If i assume that Last_Address points to last element of the array which is 'K',how does the arithmentic Storage_Offset'(40) satisfies the actual implementation?

      Please get back to me if u need any more clarifications.

      Thanks
      Maddy
