Hello, Some more ideas:
1. Implement sin(), cos(), tan() etc. The accuracy could be supplied as a parameter to the program. The correctness can be checked very easily with implemented versions. 2. Read a string/file and look for palindromes (the group of words that can read from both ends: A toyota, Madam in Eden, I'm Adam...) 3. Read a string/file and draw that string on the screen in a whirlpool way. Counter-clockwise sample of the string: "abigsnake": sgi nab ake 4. Print first n Fibonacci numbers. 5. Calculate Pi value for the specified accuracy. From wiki: "... irrational number, including π, can be represented by an infinite series of nested fractions...". So it won't be very complicated to implement. 6. Implement dos2unix/unix2dos 7. Calculator, that gets a string, put data into a tree and after calculates the value. Vytas D.
