Mike, thanks for the compliment! Particularly since I admire your books so
much.
Like Mike's my publisher also make solutions to all exercises available to
instructors. I also include the solutions in the back of the book to about
one third of the 560 exercises.

Well put!
I want to applaud the student's honesty in telling us that he was working
on a class assignment. I've seen a lot of requests for answers to
exercises in my textbooks posted as though they were not class assignments.
I thought that the initial hints given on by Team-Ada members were
reasonable responses. Hopefully they were enough to get him to complete
the task BEFORE the complete answer was posted.
John
