Suggestions for ADA program

[douglasb]

I am taking a survey of programming languages, and I have to do a small (250-300 lines or so) program in ADA. What sort of programs does this language lend itself to? I am having trouble thinking of an idea for this program.

Any suggestions?

Admittedly I have never used Ada, but I have used VHDL, whose syntax was inspired by Ada. I can say that it is highly structured, and in that sense I imagine it is good for large, complex programs (like Java: very wordy, but highly structured and uniform, making it good for very large programs where maintenance is a big deal).

ADA can be multi-threaded and number crunching.
It also does not need to have an OS under it.

ADA is/was the core behind the Air Traffic control system used by the FAA

Yeah, ADA has been used for a long time in large government and military projects. Never used it myself, so beyond that I can't be of much help.

DoD loves them some ADA. First job was an Army program written entirely in ADA. Good memories.
