File Extension .ADA Author: Jean Ichbiah

The file extension ADA contains all the source codes encoded by a user through the Ada programming language. Categorized as a developer file, the .ada file format is necessary to create executable files for running applications using the protocols of the programming language.

The Ada programming language is based on Pascal. It incorporates a structured, imperative, statically typed, and object oriented high-level programming language. It was first used for the United States Department of Defense during 1977 to 1983 for mission-critical applications, like those found in avionics applications.

The .ada file extension uses source codes that create embedded and real-time applications and system software. Due to the added support included in the system, the .ada file was later used to create financial, numerical, and object oriented programming.

The initial statement in an .ada file is started off with the "with" code that will add certain packages to the program. A package is bundled with every Ada compiler and contains all the functionality needed to the input and output of different texts declared in the .ada file data.

For example, the code

with Ada.Text_IO

procedure first is

begin

Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line("First is First");

end hello;

Will display the text "First is First!" on the monitor screen. The "with" statement will incorporate the Ada.Text_IO functionality into the "first" procedure as well as the inclusion of any codes associated with it.

After the "with" statement, it is necessary to declare a procedure using the "procedure" statement. A procedure contains the actual function of the program and will be executed once the .ada statement is compiled and converted into an executable format. Note, however, that the "procedure" starts off after the "begin" statement and stops with the "end" statement.
