Talk:Ada Programming/Attributes

New
Hello - I'm new to Wikibooks and I thought I'd contribute to Programming:Ada by filling in some of the blanks in the Programming:Ada:Attributes area.

I was wondering if I should follow a standard format for Attribute entries. I thought dividing up the entries into "Description", "Example", and "See Also" sections was a good idea, so I did so.

I wasn't exactly consistent with how I wrote the examples. I noticed that Suruena improved the example I attempted for Programming:Ada:Attributes:'Size. The example as it is now written seems like a good standard for examples (working code, expresses what the values returned by the attributes should be).

Are there any other suggestions for standardizing the format of 'Attribute entries?

Oops - you can tell I'm new because I don't know what I'm doing. :^) My username is oleszkie.

The Aim
The Aim is indeed "Description", "Example", and "See Also" - where Example should be fully working and compiling. With emphasis on "should" - we don't allways have the time to provide a working example.

See:


 * Programming:Ada:Control
 * Programming:Ada:Strings
 * Programming:Ada:Mathematical calculations
 * Programming:Ada:Subtypes

There is also a SourceForge Project to manage the sources for the examples: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wikibook-ada.

Style conventions
Ideally we all should follow the same style conventions. There was an aim to define a common style in Talk:Programming:Ada, but the discussion faded off. ManuelGR 22:10, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
