[SOLVED] Helpful websites for C questions

curious95 · 11-27-2012, 06:51 AM

Hi, i was wondering if anyone knows any website which offers questions for c. Websites which give questions which are about writing programs. For example:

Quote:

Write a program that prompts the user to enter a date in the form xx/xx/xxxx and outputs the date given in the format xx.xx.xxx .

Of course this a very simple program but i would like a website that has simple to complex programs.
Your input is highly appreciated

You'll probably have some luck with Google -- search for 'c programming tutorial' for example.

Better would be Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Programming-4t.../dp/0321776410, Stephen Kochan's Programming in C (4th ed.). You won't find a better written, full of working examples text.

Hope this helps some.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in <Programming> and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

Although your sample question reads a lot like homework, and answering homework questions is not part of the program here, LQ is a fine place to ask C programming questions.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I think the OP wants a source of questions rather than a place to ask questions.

If you are OK with questions that look for both math insight and programming skill, try
http://projecteuler.net/

I'm sure there are also lots of sites with programming problems that don't also require math insight. I just don't have any URLs handy.

Ahh, yes I think you're right.
Still, there is now a substantial history at LQ, and there are many practical C questions already posed, along with an abundance of replies. Might take a little work to ferret them out in a concise way.
