In this tutorial, we are going to implement a simple traffic light system using Ada, a statically-typed, high-level programming language designed for the development of very large software systems.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, you need to have the GNAT Ada compiler installed on your system. If you don't already have it, you can download and install GNAT from the official AdaCore website. Follow this link to download.

Compilation

Once you've got the GNAT Ada compiler installed, you're ready to compile the Ada source code into an executable.

First, navigate to the root directory of the project using your terminal:

cd ada-traffic-light-system

Next, compile the Ada source code into an executable with this command:

gnatmake -D obj -o obj/main src/main.adb

This will create the executable file in the obj directory.

Execution

Finally, you're ready to run the traffic light system! Follow these steps:

First, navigate into the obj directory:

cd obj

Then, run the program:

./main

The traffic light system will start and display the different light colors, like this:

➜ ./obj/main
Green light
Yellow light
Red light
Green light
Yellow light
Red light
Green light
Yellow light
Red light
Green light
Yellow light

That's It!

You've just built a simple traffic light system in the Ada Programming Language. Congratulations!
