Question
we have just finished taking c++ course and asked to come up with a project title which we are going to submit and be marked. therefore i want you to help me by listing the possible project titles which you think are expected from a student who has learned c++ programming language only. the project is also expected to encompass major area of the course. i really really appreciate your help and your immediate response in this matter because it is kind of urgent.
thanking you.

Answer
Here's a project that requires nothing more than basic knowledge of C++.

Predictive Text Input
---------------------

Predictive text is an input technology most commonly used on mobile phones, and for accessibility. The technology allows some common words to be entered by a single keypress for each letter, as opposed to the multiple keypress approach used in the older generation of mobile phones. The intent is to simplify the writing of text messages, e-mail, entries into an address book or calendar, and the like. Theoretically, the number of keystrokes per character, on average, is comparable to using a full, unambiguous keyboard.
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_text

Two popular implementations are T9 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T9_%28predictive_text%29 T9
and iTap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITap

Implement a T9 and iTap program using C++. You will need a dictionary of words. If you are not on Unix, you can download a free dictionary from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/dict/web2
