Hi,

I'm looking for a site with suggestions for C++ exercises due to my lack of inspiration for little programs to make myself to practice.

I'm looking for a very large spectrum of difficulty since I want to get back into it after a while of not coding, and I will need to start off with basic things (simple like a determinant finder for 3x3 matrices or even simpler).

The exercises/suggestions don't necessarily need to come with a solution since I pretty much just want ideas, but it's always great to see how much simpler it can be done sometimes by pros.

I have found a site before but the spectrum was much too narrow. Please show me your good sites :).

Thanks for your time ^_^

This is a good one.

There are also some decent project ideas here: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/3473/

I'm not sure I'd classify project euler as a C++ project. It's mostly made to enhance your mathematical notions in programming in general, and you can use whatever language you'd like to solve these problems. Though don't get me wrong, it's an amazing website and do give it a look :)

To answer your question I'd recommend a few things, the first one being to buy a book. They come with plenty of exercises as well as a wealth of knowledge and tips to help keep you sharp! As for a lack of imagination to make your own projects (I know that feel bro), you can go on Stackoverflow.com where a ton of users, expert and novice, post their problems for the world to solve. Kinda works like yahoo!answers (or whatever it's called) in that the best answers get voted up. I try to look at some of the problems people may be having and attempt to solve them myself. Though often unsuccessful as I am myself quite a novice when it comes to programming, it builds up your problem solving skills, something you need if you're going to stay in the field :)

In my opinion, nothing beats a good 'ol good. Some may disagree, it's all a matter of preference. Gave you my two cents, hope it helps! Cheers!
