Program ideas?

[Vladk1000]

Hi, I want to practice what I have learned in C++ but I don't have any program ideas. Can you give me some ideas of what programs I could make? Please suggest something that can be done in OOP and that is not harder than the this pointer because that's where I am right now. It would be ideal to have a this pointer program idea. Thanks in advance!

I'll be back a bit later. Time to learn real OO development using C++. We will build a simple proggy and extend it to a professional approach in 10 to 20 steps.
You will combine all the basics and find out their power in a object oriented environment. But you will need to work hard and be commited. I will need to work hard for you too, so think about it.

hi vlad, welcome to the site, .. i'm looking forward to see what val comes up with =)

It would be ideal to have a this pointer program idea.

In that case, I would suggest you to read my "operator overloading" tutorial in the tutorial section for C++. Besides a demo of the this pointer ( = keyword ), you will learn some slightly more advanced issues later.

If you are not sure about your understanding of the "this" keyword, read my tutorial on it in the tutorial section as well.

Does "this" in C++ mean the same thing as "this" in Java, IE, reference within an object to the current instantiation of the object?

Ok, I'll go do that right now.

BTW I learned about the this pointer from your tutorial yesterday. Nice tutorial. :rock:

Yes.
Other languages call it "self" as well.

Oh, I just updated the links to the pics in that tutorial. I forgot to do that.

Howbout this, I need a program that will read through a text file, or uncompiled php file or a .js file (a few examples) and turn the little rectangles into a new line. that shouldn't be that hard to start with right?

so turn rectangle, into "\n."

[redhead]

rectangles ?? do you mean <cr> into '\n' ?

Try to create dynamic arrays.
Good Luck
