Difficult to answer. On a scale of 1 - 10 , what would be your rating to your C programming skills?

That said, I can still suggest a generic way of finding project ideas in any programming language of your choice. C programming language has been around for several decades now and a TON of programs have been written in it. Yet, this programming language remains a popular choice for mini projects. What makes C a preferred choice by engineering students is that it's very easy to learn and master (you just have to be interested in it).

The best way to get an idea is to find out simple problems and then trying to automate them. Let me present a few projects you can try out on your own -

1. A program to calculate the area of any 2D geometrical figure when proper inputs are provided.

2. Tic-Tac-Toe program in C. If you have knowledge of graphics in C, you might want to try this out. This is a really challenging program but you may try to attempt it.

3. A simple project in C that generates random shapes to resemble English characters and then asks users to identify them. You may base a login system around this concept.

4. Solve any mathematical problems using C-programming language [ series, progressions etc. ]

5. A simple C programming language code to find the next number in the series of numbers.

6. A simple 'strong password generator' using C. You may use a combination of alpha-numeric characters along with special characters and numbers.

7. A simple C program to perform operation on mathematical matrices. This is a challenging mini-project in C if you are new to the language.

8. A little more advance system would be to develop an inventory management system for your local shopkeeper (Kirana store owner).

I'll be able to suggest more mini project ideas if you tell us what you're looking for a bit in more detail.

I would rate 6 to my C programmin skills on a scale of 1-10.
Truly speaking the programing part does not excite me as i am just a beginner and not soo perfect in programming.
Inspite of i being a goin to be Information Technology engineer is it okay if i choose an topic related to electronics for my first mini project ??
AS i would be ultimately working in the software field don't u think it is a waste of time and energy working on a topic related to elctronics...
suggest something nice.

From your post, I guess you're more interested in electronics than writing computer programs. If its allowed in your college, I'd recommend you choose an electronics project & have fun working on that. Its too early to worry about your post-engineering work.

Regarding the topic - are there any on your mind currently? Try searching the forums for electronics project ideas.

Try doing a project that involves a microcontroller. Nowadays, you have lots of devices that require the skills of an IT engineer to program "smart" appliances.. such as smart microwaves, smart dishwashers, etc.

This way, you can still use your interests in electronics, while applying your programming skills 😉

I have shortlisted a few projects related to elctronics .
1.Fridge door alarm
2.Touch switch
3.Sine wave generator
4.Speech amplifier box
5.Pulse width modulation
6.Salt taster
.
Kindly suggest if any of the above mentioned topics is suitable to do a mini project.
Apart from these can some one suggest me a new yet simple topic, as the above mentioned topics are slightly outdated and most commonly used..

Instead of posting your email ID on public forum and attracting spammers, why don't you post the code in a separate thread in CS/IT Engineering sections?


Also, we encourage you to refrain from encouraging spoon feeding to engineering students.

hospital management or backup utility there r d topics of c language more information contact at

hospital management or school administration system is best topic

hi suggest me some nice topic for c progrmming mini proj

are you the same old TS
it seems you have listed some projects by yourself

What is crossing your mind now then

jeffrey samuel

What is crossing your mind now then

If i did not got any thing then, i will go for dictionary or calendar..

Sudoku solver is a good choice to do project in that is good option

Dictionary implementation is good but don't you think it is too large If you can do it I am not hindering you from doing it

jeffrey samuel

Dictionary implementation is good but don't you think it is too large If you can do it I am not hindering you from doing it

Dictionary is a good idea .It wont be too large.I mean if you download the data of dictionary in plain text form,then all you have to do is write code for reading data,allowing searching and displaying.

Bro don't you think intermediate indexes are to be inserted so that there is lesser time in accessing the answers right

grsalvi

Dictionary is a good idea .It wont be too large.I mean if you download the data of dictionary in plain text form,then all you have to do is write code for reading data,allowing searching and displaying.

Oh indexing.Yes ,reading data can be problem.Actually i did such projects but data i would read was not as much big as a Dictionary would have. Do you think ,splitting main file of data into small ones can help ?
Or any other alternative ?

I am sure it will . In the case of dictionary A,E and S can have separate files while other letters can be grouped into 3 or 4 based on number of words This will ease and reduce the access time

Lets see what the Cean doing this project practically finds.
We will come to know if the alternative woks on or not.

Yeah he being inactive in his idea is some times really annoying But hope he has better ideas of implementing them 😀

how to sort the words in files,
is it possible with quick sort?
i am doing in C with structures and files.

First do a trial test...use plain text to store words and their meanings separated by tab (using concept of .tsv files)...each word and its meaning written in one line of text.So each line has different word.

So when reading file, a tab represents that the next word is meaning of word which came before tab.Whereas a new line represents a new word.

Rest you know what has to be done.

i don't know about .tsv file concept..

VIJAYSY

i don't know about .tsv file concept..

Just like .csv file, a .tsv is tab separated file ,which uses tab separated different values.
For more information check on web.For you case , see the example below:

Example: (Content of Dictionary File)

Apple \t A fruit with red color.
\n
amuse \t make (someone) smile or laugh.
.
.
.
And so on

Can any one help me to get dictionary in .txt ,pdf or .doc format.
2-3 times i googled but i did't got complete one-one.

Hello... You can make a project for voting machine in C language. I think it's good for C language. But the coding of this project is very long. If you can do it, then its good.
All the best

Hi..I'm a student of BE instrumentation and control.. can I get information on mini projects in C language industrial based projects

Sir,I am vital.I am studying computer science engineering in belgaum.
project is data exchange between notepad and excel so how we will do sir?

vittal sindhur

Sir,I am vital.I am studying computer science engineering in belgaum.
project is data exchange between notepad and excel so how we will do sir?

What you need to do is set up a Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) communication server. The setup will be such that if you edit any data in Notepad, the corresponding data in the Excel sheet will be updated. However, DDE is an old method.
Excel version 5.0 or later comes with rich object models that can be used for automation.

Hi..I'm a student of BE instrumentation and control.. can I get information on mini projects in C language industrial based projects

I don't really understand the meaning of 'industrial based projects' and I see students asking for it all the time. May be they are talking about a software developed in C/C++ that is or relevance in industrial use. So, may be something like inventory management system?

I need a mini project in c,that should be little bit of innovative.

Perhaps you could tell us a few projects that you've considered on your own. As someone stated above, a voting machine software can be developed with C. Go for it.

Thank you ji ,,,,but I have a project ,,,if u mention any one website is helpful to me.

OK ji thank you

Iam studying b.tech IT i think this is right time to start the preparation of gate exam..give an idea about..how will I prepare ,,,that is which website is good to study for gate exam ,and iam also need study materials..guide me sir...

i am vinni of 2nd b.tech .i want to do mini project.not able to select a topic that would attract the people .would u help me?

Hi, I am Swarup, a 2nd year CS engineering student. Basically i am not interested in coding. It bores me and i feel nothing interesting in the console window. I want to do something different with my own idea. I would like to share my idea with you. If you give me your contact info i'll describe it to you.

You can create your own thread and describe your idea unless you're selectively sending it. In that case, you can use the CE's Private Message system.

I am kanikaa , persuing b.tech(computer science) our D.E. give us a project related to some subjects(computer graphics lab , operating system lab , microprocesser lab) what is the innovative topic of mini project in c (which is the hard to understand by others and easy to create , debug & explain?)?
