Abstract
This thesis discusses the pedagogy for abstract data
types (ADTs) . Language features needed for teaching ADTs
are listed and arguments for needing them are provided.
ADTs are implemented in Ada to show the benefit of these
features. Ada possesses the desired language features but
the inheritance provided in Ada is limited. ADT interface
considerations and ADT implementation design strategies are
critical to the pedagogy for ADTs and are also discussed.
Although Ada is complex and difficult to learn and it only
provides limited inheritance, it is an excellent language
for teaching ADTs.
