newb... I guess.

Okay, like I said in the other thread... I'm new to C ( as in about a week or two new) and was wondering what would be a couple of good practice projects to work one.... anyone?

Get a book, and go by it.. You can't miss..

I think that'd works if I wasn't such a cheap SOB. but..... anyone got a couple ideas that would be challenging but not impossible? something that's get me to learn the C libraries..... anything?

Make hangman. You'll learn all sorts of stuff.

Here's some my teacher assigns the class:

* Fibonacci sequence using recursion
* Factorial using recursion
* base 10 to binary converter
* base 10 to hexadecimal converter
* Fibonacci sequence using loops
* Tic-tac-toe
* Hangman
* Fish simulator.

* English->piglatin converter.

If you give me a certain field you're trying to hit, i could make up and 'assign' ya an application using said field.

Example, ask me for an app requiring inheritance, I'd tell ya the fish one. Too lazy to type more atm, will upon request. Also, look online, shitloads. Are you more into games, or computer science type applications?

Woop, just realize you said you're learning C rather than C++. Disregard the apps requiring inheritance and other non-C things.

well I'm more of a game oriented person but anything that requires math (up to precal) seems like it'd work for me...... though it might be hard for me to figure out howto do some of the stuff... ( like in class I just recently confuse scanf and gets)

Aight, try this:

Make me a number guessing game. Have the computer generate a random number between 1 and 100. Then have it ask you for your guess. If you guess too high, make it tell you "guessed too high." If you guessed too low, make it tell you "guessed too low." If you guess the number correctly, make it say "YOU WIN!". Make it count the number of times you guess. If you do it incorrectly more than 5 times, make it say "YOU LOSE!!!"

Okay sounds easy enough. Only difficulty I think I may have is the limit on the guesses. Want me to post the final code here when I get it working or what? also...... could use a bit other help in the other thread I started...... wanted to try to keep that as a seperate topic since it's...... its own subject.

Sure, post the code. Be sure to use the 'code' tag and the 'spoiler' tag (so that it doesn't take up space).

And yes, keeping track of the amount of guesses will likely be the biggest challenge.

Good luck.
