Language elements edit

Ada code edit

Ada language elements
Template Short Notes
{{Ada/keyword}} {{Ada/kw}} Usage:
  • {{Ada/kw|elsif}} gives elsif
{{Ada/operator}} {{Ada/op}}

Normal usage:

  • {{Ada/op|&}} gives &
  • {{Ada/operator|rem}} gives rem (only within paragraphs, use {{Ada/kw}} for code snippets)

When the delimiter contains an equal sign ('=') the explicit named parameter ('1=') is required:

  • {{Ada/op|1==}} gives =
  • {{Ada/op|1=>=}} gives >=
{{Ada/delimiter}} {{Ada/dl}}

Normal usage:

  • {{Ada/dl|'}} gives '

When the delimiter contains an equal sign ('=') the explicit named parameter ('1=') is required:

  • {{Ada/dl|1=:=}} gives :=
  • {{Ada/dl|1==>}} gives =>

For technical limitations the pipe '|' is not allowed as a template parameter, so the ASCII number must be used instead:

  • {{Ada/delimiter||}} gives |
{{Ada/attribute}} {{Ada/at}}

Usage:

  • {{Ada/attribute|Range}} gives Range

the tick (') is not included by default, but you can add it optionally:

  • {{Ada/at|'|Range}} gives 'Range
{{Ada/package}} {{Ada/pk}} for child packages the template accepts multiple parameters:
{{Ada/aspect}} {{Ada/as}}

Usage:

or Template:Ada/aspect name which does not insert the => delimiter:

{{Ada/pragma}}

Usage:

or Template:Ada/pragma name which does not insert the pragma keyword:

  • {{Ada/pragma name|Pure}} gives Pure
{{Ada/restriction}}

Usage:

or Template:Ada/restriction name which does not insert "pragma Restrictions":

{{Ada/comment}} {{Ada/--}} Usage:
  • {{Ada/--|Line comment}} gives -- Line comment
{{Ada/string}} {{Ada/"}} Usage:
  • {{Ada/"|String literal}} gives "String literal"
{{Ada/character}} {{Ada/ch}} Usage:
  • {{Ada/ch|A}} gives 'A'
{{Ada/integer}} {{Ada/in}}

Normal usage:

  • {{Ada/in|1_024_000}} gives 1_024_000

The base can also be specified (and optionally the exponent):

  • {{Ada/in|16|FFFF_0000}} gives 16#FFFF_0000#
  • {{Ada/in|16|FFFF|4}} gives 16#FFFF#4
{{Ada/real}} {{Ada/re}}

Normal usage:

  • {{Ada/re|3.14159_26535}} gives 3.14159_26535

The base can also be specified (and optionally the exponent):

  • {{Ada/re|16|AB.01}} gives 16#AB.01#
  • {{Ada/re|16|1.F|-2}} gives 16#1.F#-2

Full example:

 {{Ada/restriction|No_Obsolescent_Features}};
 
 {{Ada/kw|with}} {{Ada/package|Ada|Text_IO}};
 {{Ada/kw|with}} {{Ada/package|Ada|Characters|Latin_1}};
 
 {{Ada/kw|procedure}} Print_Constants {{Ada/kw|is}}
 
    {{Ada/kw|package}} T_IO    {{Ada/kw|renames}} {{Ada/package|Ada|Text_IO}};
    {{Ada/kw|package}} Latin_1 {{Ada/kw|renames}} {{Ada/package|Ada|Characters|Latin_1}};
 
 {{Ada/kw|begin}}
 
    T_IO.Put_Line (Item {{Ada/dl|1==>}} {{Ada/"|Hello!}});        {{Ada/--|String literal}}
    T_IO.Put_Line (Latin_1.Not_Sign {{Ada/op|&}} {{Ada/ch|P}});  {{Ada/--|Character literal (¬P)}}
    T_IO.Put_Line (Integer{{Ada/at|'|Image}} ({{Ada/in|42}}));      {{Ada/--|Integer literal}}
    T_IO.Put_Line (Float{{Ada/at|'|Image}} ({{Ada/re|3.1416}}));    {{Ada/--|Real literal}}
 
 {{Ada/kw|end}} Print_Constants;

gives:

pragma Restrictions (No_Obsolescent_Features);

with Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.Characters.Latin_1;

procedure Print_Constants is

   package T_IO    renames Ada.Text_IO;
   package Latin_1 renames Ada.Characters.Latin_1;

begin

   T_IO.Put_Line (Item => "Hello!");        -- String literal
   T_IO.Put_Line (Latin_1.Not_Sign & 'P');  -- Character literal (¬P)
   T_IO.Put_Line (Integer'Image (42));      -- Integer literal
   T_IO.Put_Line (Float'Image (3.1416));    -- Real literal

end Print_Constants;
