There's a mathematical series for pi - search the forums - we discussed it recently in GD. You could also do e?
Make a program to accurately calculate 3 to any arbitrary precision.
Or write a program to figure out the question to 42. :D
I really don't know how hard it is. It's just something I've wanted to do for awhile, and I figure that if he's offering... :)Quote:

Create a database. This is the sort of project that can be easy or hard depending on how high your standards are, and how much time you have to code. You can do something simple which just stores static sized data types into a flat file, or you can go as far as creating a database which can support the Structured Query Language.
Databases get more interesting once you start considering the ramifications of the database being larger than the available RAM, or once you start tailoring search algorithms to get you the best bang for your buck :)
So bob, when can I expect my MP3 sorter?
I did a search for posts by B0bDole with the word "code" in the post. I got back just a handful and not one of them had any of his own code in it. Makes you think....

Two reasons
a) I don't ask for help with programs on this board (or any board for that matter), weird I guess.
b) I haven't helped anyone on this board, I believe I did under my old name, cgawd.
c) I don't know why you hate me but, for every second you hate me I love you for 3. :-p
edit: wait that's three reasons whoops
