Ask HN: Small programming projects / challenges for C beginners

3 pointsby zabanaabout 8 years ago
Hi HN,<p>I&#x27;ve been teaching myself C programming recently. I think I have a good enough grasp of the language constructs like pointers, typedefs etc. I&#x27;d like to move beyond the usual (and frankly quite boring) hello world tutorials but I&#x27;m having trouble coming up with small enough projects that are doable and big enough that they&#x27;re still exciting or would allow me to apply my recently gained knowledge.<p>So how did you guys learn C ? Do you have any ideas for such projects ?<p>Cheers

You might be interested in &quot;Code Katas&quot; - small, targeted programming exercises. Check out codewars.com, codekata.com, codekatas.org, etc.<p>Also check out ACM Competitive Programming problems [0]. They&#x27;re small projects, usually centered around logic, mathematical calculations, and data processing. If you want a challenge, take one year&#x27;s problems and try to complete all eight in under five hours without an internet connection (physical reference material allowed).<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;icpc.baylor.edu&#x2F;worldfinals&#x2F;problems" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;icpc.baylor.edu&#x2F;worldfinals&#x2F;problems</a>
