Below is a proof‐of‐concept Ada application that manages and executes social security payouts. The design is modular, splitting the functionality into several packages:
- Social_Security_Types: Defines the key types (e.g. the Beneficiary record).
- Beneficiary_Manager: Contains operations for managing a list of beneficiaries (listing, updating, etc.).
- Payment_Processor: Contains the payout logic for a single beneficiary.
- Social_Security_Payout (Main Program): Sets up a fixed list of beneficiaries and calls the processing routines.
This structure leverages Ada’s strong typing and package modularity to improve maintainability and correctness. Ada’s design-by-contract features (preconditions, postconditions) and exception handling (not shown here for brevity) would further enhance the correctness of a production system.
