Hi MyLotters.
Now I need suggestions / ideas. I has recently finished a class on C# programming, a language which was mostly unknown to me and in my job I will be using regularly in a couple of months. As I have just that class and a few Google searches of experience only, I want to practice with it by doing some sort of small program to put that into practice.
I want to make a small program just for the sake or seeing what I can and can't yet do with all that new knowledge. But at the same time, it would be great that such practice program were useful as a real application to carry out something.
So I want to ask all you, what do you think would be a good application to make? Something that is useful in itself and at the same time serves as a nice practice to me for the future of my job activity. What would be useful to you and want to have?

Hello, after seeing your query I search "applications in C++". This takes us to many sites. I am sure you will find a suitable site to guide you in this regard.
Find out and write to me. best wishes

Well, I'm not really that good in my programming class but I managed to pull it off well. Let's see, well if you want a basic program, try making a multiplication table using for or while loops, It's kinda easy.
If you want intermediate, well, try change certain vowels to another vowel using arrays. Example, you might want to change a to e and vice versa. So the sentence: 'A Harry potter fan can create magic.' would become 'E Herry pottar fen cen craeta megic.'
And if you want a difficult one, try pointers to structures. Which my brain is completely useless to it. 
Example:
typedef struct{
char *name;
int idNumber[12];
} employeeT;
Then construct a sample program of a worksheet of employees on a certain company (much more like database) using pointers to structures.
Ok, I'm going to stop writing codes.

I would certainly go for your "difficult" example!! After having practices somewhat with function pointers in assembler, it doesn't gets that hard in C
.
But it seems my questions was interpreted incorrectly. I know and have done all those academical examples and I really feel bored of that. Rather I want to point more at the practical and non technical aspects of the programming. The exact question may be "What kind of program can I make that would be useful in real life?". And with that, just sit down and try how far can I reach with the new language.
To give you an example, when I learn plain C a few years back, I like to practice it and found that keeping a TXT file with my passwords was not so good. So I built a password manager for the double task of solving that practical, real life problem and also practice. And there used/abused of structures and pointers
