I have been learning C and C++ over the last few years...
My problem is i don't know where to go next. I know how to use pointers, classes etc... in C++ but i haven't written a practical program, only assigments from the university(calculating arithmetic means, mean deviation etc)...
What do you want to do? That's what programming is for -- make the computer do cool stuff you want.
You might also ask your professor if there is anything you can do for any projects he or other university people have. Sometimes this can turn into your thesis project (comp sci majors).
