ok here is an idea but probably only when u get more advanced um make a c++ program that can take inputed santax from one programing lauangue and output the same santax in another um it could be called the lauanguage converter or something um so ya thats my idea all i can think of i hope it helps or helps trigger other ideas so ya

thanx, but could b too advanced. I was thinking of trying to input numbers, convert it to binary or hexdecimal, and output again... that mite work.
My biggest problem is that there are lots of stuff that are aimed at beginners, like really basic stuff, and then lots at a lot higher level, but im inbetween and i dont know how to get better. Any turorials, or books or whatever that anyboyd could recomend would be awesome...

See the code snippet section of this site. It has some really nice codes which can get you started.
I suppose someone has also given a code convertor for dec to bin. Take a look.

I think a neat, but relatively simple problem, would be to create an reverse Polish notation calculator. It would take a line of input, like, 2 3 + 5 *, and display 25. You'd need to understand what reverse Polish notation is; you can look online, probably Wikipedia.

Or try playing with some other programming language(s), like Perl or Scheme or Ruby or Python or Io. Then you'll have some more time to think of some ideas

hey thats real simple but only if u have memorized hex and bianary

What are you talking about? What do you mean by "memorized hex and binary"?

I think he/she is referring to sunnypalsingh's post. Although it's hard to say, I think he's in a little world of his own. Tee he he.

If you already know the syntax then do something mathematical that requires some thought and time to make. For instance: Maybe something simple to compute derivatives or an equation parser. A hex/binary spitter-outer is too simple in my opinion. (unless you are going to write the methods yourself, as I'm sure there are plenty available in ++)

I and some of my friends left project ideas on

They can appply to any computer language!
