Ask the right questions to secure the right Ada 2012Y2 talent among an increasingly shrinking pool of talent.
Ada 2012Y2 is not a recognized programming language. It seems like there might be some confusion in the naming. Ada is a structured, statically typed, high-level computer programming language that was originally designed by the U.S Department of Defense in the late 1970s to supersede over 450 programming languages used for its embedded systems. The latest version of this language is Ada 2012. However, "2012Y2" does not correspond to any known version or variant of Ada. If you're referring to a specific implementation or extension of Ada, it would be best to check with your source for more accurate information.
The next 20 minutes of the interview should attempt to focus more specifically on the development questions used, and the level of depth and skill the engineer possesses.
In Ada 2012Y2, exceptions are handled using the 'begin', 'exception', and 'when' keywords. You write the code that might raise an exception inside a 'begin' block, and then handle the exception in an 'exception' block using 'when'.
In Ada 2012Y2, a procedure is a subprogram that performs an action, while a function is a subprogram that returns a value. A procedure does not return a value directly, whereas a function does.
The 'with' clause in Ada 2012Y2 is used to import a package or a module into the current scope. It is similar to the 'import' statement in other languages.
In Ada 2012Y2, you declare a variable by specifying its name, followed by a colon and then its type. For example, 'Var: Integer;' declares a variable named 'Var' of type Integer.
The basic data types in Ada 2012Y2 include Integer, Float, Character, Boolean, and Duration.
The tech industry is always changing, so it's important for developers to be willing to learn and adapt to new technologies and methods.
Teamwork is often a key part of development work. The candidate's ability to work well in a team can indicate how well they will fit into the existing team.
Experience with similar projects can indicate that the candidate will be able to quickly adapt to the requirements of this role.
Communication skills are important in any job, but especially in development where they will need to explain complex concepts to non-technical team members.
Problem-solving skills are essential for developers as they often need to troubleshoot issues or find solutions to complex coding problems.
This is crucial as the position requires working with Ada 2012Y2. A strong understanding of the language will ensure they can effectively contribute to the team.
The next 20 minutes of the interview should attempt to focus more specifically on the development questions used, and the level of depth and skill the engineer possesses.
Concurrency in Ada 2012Y2 is implemented using tasks. A task is a type of object that runs concurrently with other tasks. You can define a task using the 'task' keyword, and you can control the execution of tasks using 'entry', 'accept', 'select', and 'delay' statements.
In Ada 2012Y2, 'in' parameters are used to pass values into a subprogram, while 'out' parameters are used to return values from a subprogram. 'In' parameters are read-only within the subprogram, while 'out' parameters can be modified.
In Ada 2012Y2, 'pragma' is used to provide additional information to the compiler, such as compiler directives or special processing instructions. It can be used to control aspects of the program's compilation.
In Ada 2012Y2, a record is defined using the 'type' keyword followed by the record name, the 'record' keyword, and then the fields of the record. Each field is declared like a variable, with a name and a type.
Ada 2012Y2 supports several types of loops, including 'while' loops, 'for' loops, and 'loop' loops. 'While' loops execute as long as a condition is true, 'for' loops iterate over a range of values, and 'loop' loops execute indefinitely until an 'exit' statement is encountered.
At this point, the candidate should have demonstrated strong knowledge of Ada 2012Y2 programming, problem-solving abilities, and attention to detail. Red flags would include a lack of familiarity with Ada 2012Y2 specifics, struggle in explaining complex concepts or an inability to provide examples of prior experience.

The final few interview questions for a Ada 2012Y2 candidate should typically focus on a combination of technical skills, personal goals, growth potential, team dynamics, and company culture.
In Ada 2012Y2, a generic package is implemented using the 'generic' keyword, followed by the generic parameters, and then the package specification. The generic parameters can be types, objects, or subprograms, and they allow the package to be reused with different types or values.
In Ada 2012Y2, the 'renames' clause is used to create an alias for an existing object, subprogram, or package. This can be useful for shortening long names or for providing more descriptive names.
Inheritance in Ada 2012Y2 is implemented using tagged types. A tagged type is a record type that includes a tag, which identifies the type. You can define a new type that inherits from a tagged type using the 'new' keyword and the 'with' keyword.
In Ada 2012Y2, a private type is a type whose full definition is hidden from clients, while a limited private type is a private type that also restricts assignment and comparison. Clients can only interact with these types through the operations defined in the package specification.
Ada 2012Y2 supports two types of arrays: one-dimensional arrays and multi-dimensional arrays. One-dimensional arrays have a single index, while multi-dimensional arrays have multiple indices.
