Hi! I'm just learning the basics of C++, have written a couple of (very) simple programs... would you be kind enough to issue me a little challenge?

Thx!

well depends on how much c++ you know and what your interested in, here's a moderatly difficult mathematical problem(quite useful as well).

[edit] the more i think about it the more i think that'd be too hard so can you tell us what sort of stuff you know and are interested in[/edit]

create a class that has the ability to hold a number totally accuratly(you'll need to find a way to handle irrationals) give it some operators like +,-,*,/,^n (n posotive integer), then using this class write a program to solve n'th degree polynomial equations to a specified precision. im not sure how old you are so i dont know if thats past your mathematical abilities or not.

have a look at some past problems on www.topcoder.com theres lots of easy and hard stuff there.

that's past my mathematical & c++ abilities

start with a linked list with provision to add/delete/modify objects inside the nodes? this should get you understanding pointers, and caling by ref in C++, i think.
of course, in C++, we can just use vectors from the STl, but i think this is a decent start.

that'll keep me busy, thanks

did you have a look into www.topcoder.com?
