Hi;

Rosetta Code Task: “Josephus problem”, obvious problem, but what is the correct way to correct it?

gnatmake ./josephus.adb
gcc -c -I./ -I- ./josephus.adb
josephus.adb:8:46: error: “Index” is undefined (more references follow)
gnatmake: “./josephus.adb” compilation error

function Arg(Idx, Default: Positive) return Positive is – read Argument(Idx)
(if Ada.Command_Line.Argument_Count >= Index
then Positive’Value(Ada.Command_Line.Argument(Index)) else Default);

What am I not understanding here?

Thanks,

“Obviously” that Index should be Idx.

The code has been wrong since it was uploaded in 2013!

And the return type has to be Natural, in order to accept the 0 as intended for the 4th parameter.

I’ve fixed both problems in Rosetta Code.

That’s what I thought, but sometimes fixing a syntax error incorrectly will cause a logic error; at least while one is (re-)learning a language. That’s why I posted the query. Thanks for the response!
