C++ project idea

How about writing software that syncs a directory with a removable drive, as in an mp3 player. May not be a beginner type project.
 
i have files that i constantly have to rename to remove the default extension.. ie filename.txt.1 and i have to remove the .1 part... make a program that removes that .1 for me leaving the rest

i'm not sure if i learned that much in my C++ class, but then again that was about 6 years ago, i hardly remember any of it

"Hello World!", or be daring and add "Hello World! Watch out, here I come!".

and when you run the program it prints
"Hellow World! Watch out, here i c-Object not found at reference 3"

Make a program that estimates loan payments, interest rates and make suggestion about different accounts/situations.

This may sound boring but would be pretty useful and easy to implement.

User would input a principal and some APR, then choose different term lengths.
You can use predetermined formulas in economics or finances textbooks to set up the sums and calculations.

Have the program output the annuities and # terms required; net payment needed monthly.
Then maybe also estimate the amount of interest made if you were to keep the money in a CD account.

etc.

This sounds like something right out of a first year class (at least it was for me).
 
Dont you have any guidelines at all??

If not, then for beginners c++, I would suggest looking around stuff...that you think can be programmed and sounds interesting to you. Think of things as "input" ---process---> "output"
It will give you better ideas as to what is feasible and what not. We created easy games, etc. for our class. I can dig through my assignments for ideas, let me know. but its been about 6 years...so, not sure if I still have them.

Make me a program that pings any set of IP addresses constantly at any interval that saves it in a text file in order to monitor uptime..

Then, make it so it graphs certain stats like uptime, latency, etc..

I can't find a good uptime monitor.. that's all I want..

we wrote a simple zip utility based on some elementary coding theory. ... ehh... forgot the name of the code, but you could follow that easily and write a simple code about it.
