Project Idea for you guys :)

[kaduuk]

Hey guys,

I just thought of a (imo) good project idea for all of you (beginners to experts)..

Try writing a c++ code, with all (or most of the) commands/ statements you know (e.g cout, switch statements, try- catch- throw statements etc).

This should be a challenge even for the people with loads of experience, since they probably know more commands and statements :)

Oh, and try to let the program make sense..

Happy coding :)

Cheers!

A program which uses the entire standard library and all the language constructs?

[kaduuk]

if you know all of those, yes :)
just try it (or with as many as possible), should be challenging (:

Bad idea IMO

[Bazzy]

It's almost impossible. It's like asking to write a book using every word you know

[chrisname]

Like writing a dictionary?

[Bazzy]

Like writing Wikipedia

Have fun!

[kaduuk]

ok, well maybe its beginners only then..
I don't know to many yet, so it would be a challenge (but not way to hard)..

Ah well :)

This is actually an antipattern of sorts. It's a common mistake to think that just because a feature is there, you have to use it. This "project" would be the epitome of that mistake.

Edit:
I'm now busy writing a database to store multidimensional (nth-D, n is defined at runtime) vectors with std::ostreams that have completely random scraps of memory sent to them at intervals of 1 second. It's a multi-threaded program and I intended to let it write to files, stream to strings which can be copied to the clipboard, sorting, casting to all built-in types and I might expand on it with a GUI and a client/server structure, so that different computers can contribute to the database. It will store all this on MySQL and every so often send me a copy via e-mail about updates in the database. He would also be able to rate cookies, based on their names (consequently store in const char*). It would also....
