Basic applications to practice?

[BigChocaholic]

Hi all, just wondering what would be some programs I could create to practice my c++. So far I have done the basics in the following: File i/o, data structures, classes, pointers, arrays, dynamic memory, control structures, classes etc.

The main things I need to practice are pointers and classes, so I was wondering if anyone could suggest a simple program I could write which would challenge me and help me to further understand c++, particularly classes and pointers.

Thanks.

Well, best practice is to use that in your code frequently. Some "easy" applications could be
- contact manager (storing records in a file)
- file system database (compiling file names and other attributes, fast in memory file search)
- for recurson I would suggest you to implement the Fibonacci algorithm
