Question

I have a pretty simple Ada project on my hands. The task is to take a collection of a \"voter\'s\" votes and compare it to each \"candidate\'s\" score and determine which ca

Answer 1

You could use streams in order to read the data in: Integer'Read( STREAM_HANDLE, VARIABLE )

Another option is reading the values via Get for each element of your array, I'd recommend a helper-function in case you need to tweak the procedure for handling format changes:

    Function  Get_Vote ( File  : File_Type ) Return Integer is
    begin
        Return Result : Integer do
            Integer_IO.Get(
                File  => File,
                Item  => Result
               );
        End return;
    end Read_Votes;

and

For Index in VOTE_ARRAY'range loop
    VOTE_ARRAY( Index ) := Get_Vote( INPUT_FILE );
End loop;
