of the Ada language. It is composed of 33 chapters which should be studied in

introduced in previous chapters. Topics covered includes: Program
Structure, The Integer Type Variable, Logical Compares and precedence, Control
Structures, Additional Scalar Types, Derived Types, Subprograms, Blocks and

The purpose of this guide is to help
computer professionals produce better Ada programs by identifying a set of
stylistic guidelines that will directly impact the quality of their Ada
programs. This style guide is not intended to replace the Ada Reference Manual,
or the Rationale, or to serve as a tutorial for the Ada programming language.
The book is in three parts. The first part deals with the fundamentals
of Ada programming. The second part deals with abstract data types. The third
and final part is concerned with using the object-oriented programming
features of Ada 95 to develop extensible programs.
