| The //Fahr// variable is of the //Fahrenheit_Degree_Range// type and it's initial value is 0. Why 0? Because we assign it the value //Fahrenheit_Degree_Range'First//, and the //'First// part equals the first value in the range constraint of the type, in this case 0. Consequently the value for //Fahrenheit_Degree_Range'Last// is 212. | The //Fahr// variable is of the //Fahrenheit_Degree_Range// type and it's initial value is 0. Why 0?
