- I received one request for a pointer to Bryan & Mendal's
- book so I may as well post it (same amount of keystrokes).
-
- Exploring Ada, Volumes 1&2
- Douglas L. Bryan and Geoffrey O. Mendal
- Prentice Hall
- ISBN 0-13-295684-5 V1
- ISBN 0-13-297227-1 V2
-
- The book is in LRM order. Program examples are given
- in levels of difficulty. The levels are:
- Novice
- Programmer
- Designer
- Language Lawyer
-
- For many examples the book asks, "What will this
- program print?" For example 7.3.12 the answer is
- "The answer to the question is indeterminate."
-
- So I ask "Is Ada readable if you can express an indeterminate
- program using it?".
-
- I am gathering my thoughts on "readability" and may
- post them later. This posting is to give the pointer
- to the book above.
