OK, well I find it pretty hard to find example assignments online, and people who teach themselves to program often lack challenges.

So, if anyone knows some good programming challenge websites, or if any students have got the time to offer us their assignments as examples, post them up here. And don't forget to specify the language!

I'll keep an eye on this post and edit it regularly to sort all your projects by category (and link to your post or upload)

The Programming Challenges book is really good. Almost any algorithms book, from CLRS to Knuth has exercises in each capter.

challenging mathematical/computer programming problems

i have passed 2 only yet lol its fun

wow, manzoor...I would have to get out the dictionary to understand what some of those questions are saying.
Challenging, yes.

Here's one assignment I haven't attempted yet, since it was optional and I ran out of time.

Create a deck of 52 cards (using textboxes I think) and when the user clicks a button, randomize them.

Use the char map to get the card symbols.

We used C# (windows application) but you probably could use other languages.

You did mean to post the assignment as a challenge to anyone wanting to learn...right? Or did you want the code?

And there I was, thinking this thread had died!

I can't edit it any more though, since it got pinned

@Manzoor
I really like that Project Euler, it's pretty challenging. I think I'm gonna have to spend more time on that (So far, I've done 4 of them )

I've only worked on it for a day and got up to question 9, but I am confused about Pythagorean triads. I just recently did work with them in school and forgotten all about them.

MS-DOS Challenges Are Hard To Find On The Web.
So Ill Try To Post Some.
1. Scans The Computer For A Specific File And Shows The File Path.
2. A Simple Game Which Allows You To Navigate Between A Minimum Of
35 Squares.
3. A Advance Calculator Which Includes ANS, Degree And Tempreture
Converting From F To C To K and Back In All Directions.
Please Either PM Me With Answers Or Just Reply With The Code.
I Will Try To Find More Later.
