Does Ada provide Strings facilites or a string library? David_Botton David@Botton.com David_Botton David@Botton.com Ada provides three string packages:

  1. Ada.Strings.Fixed - operations on the builtin String type
  2. Ada.String.Bounded - Varying size strings, with a maximum length
  3. Ada.Strings.Unbounded - Varying strings that can be extended, so long as memory permits.
You can find a short intorudction to these packages at:

or go directly to the discussion of these facilites in the Ada95 Rational:
