Problem

Solutions: Ada: Ada is a high-level programming language developed in the late 1970's for the U.S. Department of Defense. It is intended particularly for embedded systems and stresses modularity, reliability, and maintainability. It bears a strong resemblance to PASCAL and was designed to improve programmer productivity by allowing several tasks to be performed simultaneously. It is very large and comprehensive. Ada is named after Augusta Ada Byron, the Countess of LoveLace, who is credited as being the first computer programmer. In the mid-nineteenth century, she translated the description of Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine into French. During the translation she took many notes and wrote a series of instructions for the machine to perform complex mathematical calculations. NOTE: Ada compilers are available for the IBM-compatible PCs.
