Dear obvious Newcomer in Ada,
you are welcome in the Ada world.
A few bits of unrelated information separated by blank lines:

Ada is called "Ada" and not "ADA"(<--insult;-).

Better prefer:
   type pointer is integer;
   pointer1 : pointer;
because the term "address" has a specific other meaning in Ada.

Arithmetic in pointers are not allowed.

team-ada is not a forum to ask questions, which could easily
found out in very basic textbooks, tutorials, and the AdaLRM (see
http://www.csv.ica.uni-stuttgart.de/homes/ph/resources_on_ada.html)

Now have a good time with Ada and become a fan of Ada  :-)

cheers!
