Ada is a statically typed, high-level programming language designed for developing reliable and efficient software, especially in safety-critical and mission-critical systems. Originally developed for the U.S. Department of Defense, Ada is known for its strong typing, modularity, and built-in support for concurrent programming. It is widely used in aerospace, defense, transportation, and industrial control applications.

Features of Ada:

• Strongly typed language promoting safety and reliability.
• Supports modular and concurrent programming.
• Designed for high-integrity and mission-critical systems.
• Backed by the GNAT compiler, part of the GNU Compiler Collection.

To install and check Ada (GNAT) on your system, run the following commands:

gnat --version
