Description
Hello Everybody,
My students raised this issue with me.
The online tutorial at learn.adacore.com under imperative programming and other section that make use of Get() e.g Get(N) under the if statement are not working as expected. Please see below screenshot:

If you hit the Run button, we only get the following:
Console Output:
$ gprbuild -q -P main.gpr
Build completed successfully.
No input box to enter a value.
Please help!

We could run same code with console input interactively as shown below:

And also on tryitonline.com ( https://tio.run/#ada-gnat ) as shown below:

Many thanks for all your efforts!
God blesses!!!
Best regards,
Sanyaade

Research direction
Reproduce the missing-input behavior in the imperative programming sections of learn.adacore.com by running the examples that use Get() or Get(N). Start from the Run button and the generated main.gpr invocation; done means console programs can accept interactive input and the expected value reaches Get().
