Ideas to programming. How do I get them? Please, help me!!!

[LauroBezerra]

Well,

I study C and C++ language. But I have a problem: I have no ideas to program.

How do I get most ideas or several ideas to program?

I need most ideas to program so that I can learn the C and C++ language.

I need to work with computer programming but I need ideas to work a lot.
How and where do I get ideas to program?

The first stop would be the tutorial exercises
- extend current ones by adding new features
- redo old ones in a better way using your extra knowledge

Then consider some of your basic commands like 'dir'
Try and make your own versions of these simple commands - perhaps adding some features which you've always wanted.

OK, perhaps that's a bit far for now, but you'll get to look at a lot of source code which you can download and study/modify.
