NO HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS! Such posts will be caught, deleted and submitters will be banned without further warning.

Please keep submissions on-topic. For programming help on personal projects or homework, head to r/learnprogramming. For questions about careers or prospects, r/cscareerquestions is helpful.

Although we ask that you refrain from linking to long lists of pre-prepared potential projects (unless the list is very truly acutually bomb), linking to others' project ideas is a great way to spread good ideas! Please do so through in-text links like this!

Please be descriptive enough and include citations like they're a dime a dozen (in other words, don't expect others to know what is obvious to you)! If your prompt must be completed in a specific language, such as javascript, please include the name of the language it must be completed in in brackets at the end of your prompt's title. Posting solutions is very encouraged and please, always make sure to post what language was used in comments!

Remember four or more leading spaces will mark your text as code as will the backtick key inline.

Let's see if we can find every solution to every prompt!

^example: Write me a Hello, World program in python!

def main():
    print(Hello, World!)
main()
