By this point you are probably feeling somewhat confident about your programming skills in Ada. That is good. You can write software that will be able to process files, print data to the screen, accept inputs, and perform some fairly complex logic.

However, there is one small problem. Everything that you can do so far, you are doing one at a time. If you have to do some computationally heavy tasks, write to a file, and ask the user for input, all of this will have to happen in a linear fashion. Sure, you can arrange the methods according ...
