Introduction To Ada Solo Project: Robert Rostkowski CS 460 Computer Security Fall 2008

The document provides an introduction to the Ada programming language. It discusses Ada Lovelace as the first programmer and her work on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. It describes the history and development of the Ada language, including its use by the US Department of Defense to address issues with multiple languages. Examples are given of Ada programs for hello world and getting a user's name. The document outlines Ada standards, compilers, programming structure, and common uses in applications such as air travel, trains, and more. Sources for further information are listed.

Introduction to Ada Solo Project

Robert Rostkowski CS 460 Computer Security Fall 2008

Ada Lovelace (1815-1852)


Math

& Science Genius Childhood steered towards math & science Designed airplane in 1828 Tutored by Augustus DeMorgan in 1840 Translated & appended Charles Babbages Analytical Machine into meticulous notes

Ada Lovelace (1815-1852)


First

Programmer Explained how Analytical Engine could calculate Bernoulli Numbers Wrote (first) program for the never built Analytical Engine

Ada History

US Department of Defense (DoD) Pre-1980 Too Many Programming Languages (450+) Hardware dependent Unsafe modular programming Outdated programming languages By 1977, it was time for a change In 1979, Jean Ichbiah won the DoDs programming language contest, with a Pascal like dialect

Ada & WWII Cryptography Challenge


Joachim

Schweth used Ada to crack the Lorenz S242 Encryptor (16 million million million permutations), in just 46 seconds. Overall, the cryptography challenge took a little less than two hours.

Ada Standards
Ada

83 (1983) ANSI/MIL-STD 1815 A Ada 87 (1987) ISO-8652: 1987 Ada 95 (1995) ISO-8652: 1995 Interfaces with C, C++, FORTRAN, COBOL & Java source code

Ada Standards
The

DoD, ANSI & ISO standards are adhered worldwide. Thus, its easy to write and revise Ada code. More importantly, safety and security are more reliable with a global, structured, standardized, hardware & operating system independent programming language. Ada supports OOP too.

Ada Compilers
