Package

To start a package, create a project as seen in the first lesson.

Add a file and write code to it. The code must specify a package. Here is an example:

package FunctionX is

    type Employee is
        record
	    EmployeeNumber : Integer;
            FirstName      : String(1 .. 8);
      	    LastName       : String(1 .. 6);
      	    HourlySalary   : Float;
        end record;

end FunctionX;

In the main file of the project, access the package. Here is an example:

with Ada.Text_IO;
with FunctionX;
use Ada.Text_IO;
use FunctionX;

procedure Exercise is
  StaffMember : Employee;

begin
   StaffMember.EmployeeNumber := 704702;
   StaffMember.FirstName      := "Jonathan";
   StaffMember.LastName       := "Jensen";
   StaffMember.HourlySalary   := 22.84;

   Put_Line("Employee Record");
   Put_Line("Employee #:    " & Integer'Image(StaffMember.EmployeeNumber));
   Put_Line("First Name:    " & StaffMember.FirstName);
   Put_Line("Last Name:     " & StaffMember.LastName);
   Put_Line("Hourly Salary: " & Float'Image(StaffMember.HourlySalary));
end Exercise;

This would produce:

Employee Record
Employee #:     704702
First Name:    Jonathan
Last Name:     Jensen
Hourly Salary:  2.28400E+01

Start a project. Add a file with the desired contents. Here is an example:

package Example1 is
    procedure SayWelcome(x : in Integer);
end Example1;

Save the file the file with a .ads extension. In this case, that would be example.ads

Add another file. Here is an example:

with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;

package body Example1 is
    procedure SayWelcome(x : in Integer) is
    begin
	put_line("We say welcome to you!!!");
    end SayWelcome;
end Example1;

Save the file with a .adb extension. In this case, that would be example.adb

To access the procedure in the main file, here is an example:

with Ada.Text_IO;
use Ada.Text_IO;
with Example1;
use Example1;

procedure Exercise is

begin
   SayWelcome(1);
end Exercise;

This would produce:

We say welcome to you!!!

Start a project. Add a file with the desired contents. Here is an example:

package Example1 is
    function Doubles(x : in Float) return Float;
end Example1;

Save the file the file with a .ads extension. In this case, that would be example.ads

Add another file. Here is an example:

package body Example1 is
    function Doubles(x : in Float) return Float is
    begin
	return x * 2.00;
    end Doubles;
end Example1;

Save the file with a .adb extension. In this case, that would be example.adb

To access the function in the main file, here is an example:

with Ada.Text_IO;
use Ada.Text_IO;
with Example1;
use Example1;

procedure Exercise is
   number : Float;
   result : Float;
   
begin
   number := 48.36;
   result := Doubles(number);
   
   put_line(Float'Image(number) & " * 2 = " & Float'Image(result));
end Exercise;

This would produce:

 4.83600E+01 * 2 =  9.67200E+01
