Quite a challenge getting back with progress!!!

The shipwreck

Input a number, than a vector<Passenger> passengers(number), where Passenger is a struct that consists of string name and string status;
the problem is to sort the passengers who was on the ship by the next priority:
a) first who leaves the ship is rat, than the ship leaves whoman or a child, than the ship leaves a man, the last one who leaves the ship is the captain;
b) it is necessary to write a bool function which we will use in function stable_sort to sort the vector of passengers;
what I tried is the next:

bool Priority(Passenger pas1, Passenger pas2)`

   {
        if(pas1.status == "rat")
            return true;
        if((pas1.status == "woman" || pas1.status == "child") && pas2.status != "rat")
            return true;
        if(pas1.status == "man" && pas2.status != "woman" && pas2.status == "child" && pas2.status != "rat")
            return true;
   }

in many ways;

Here are some of mine:

• Make A Player vs. Computer Connect Four Computer Game (Intermediate)
• Make a Player vs. Computer battleship game (Intermediate)
• Create a Simulation of the Knight Tour (where the computer provides the steps for a knight to conduct one- search on the internet for ideas)
• Do an "Eight Queens" Puzzle solver

If anyone wants more ideas, let me know.

Here are some ideas that I like to use when teaching programming.

1. Create a program that prints out the number distinct 5-card hards in poker, starting with Royal Flush going down to High Card. Output should include the number of distinct hands and the percentage of the total of each category of hand. (Beginner)

2. Create another version of this program which will determine the number and rates for 7-card games, where you are given 7 cards and choose your best 5-card hand from those 7 cards. (Intermediate)

3. Read a text file with multiple words, that is letters and other characters delimintated by whitespace. Print the string modified in the following ways:
   a) Remove all punctuation, but leave words distinct. e.g. "Next!"Now -> Next Now
   b) A word may contain letters, or a word may contain digits, but a word containing both letters and digits is not valid. When such a word is encountered, print a question mark (?) instead.
   c) Each word in the input file will be printed in the order they appeared in the file, seperated by one space each, no matter what whitespace (or how many) seperated them before.
   d) Each word should appear in the output only once. If a word appears multiple times in the input file, then print it only the first time and suppress, by whatever means, the output of subsequent duplicates. Use case-insensitive comparisons. (Intermediate)

4. Create a text calculator. Read user input and analyse the string to seperate numbers and operators. The operators that should be recognised are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, unary negation, exponentiation. Respect order of operations. Recognize parentheses and deal with them appropriately. Give approriate error messages for invalid input. Go back and ask the user for more questions until the user enters a blank line and closes the stream, at which point, exit the program. Do not call multiple functions to handle each level of the order of operations. (Intermediate)

5. Create a more advanced text calculator. Do all the above features, but also support variables, which will store doubles using variable-length identifiers (a letter followed by letters or digits, your choice to allow underscores (-) or not); names of identifiers are considered case-sensitive. Create a set of built-in functions, like sin and log. One of the built-in functions should be help, which gives explanations on how to use the program, including a list of built-in functions and operators. Throw in the abilty to store and use user-defined functions as well. (Expert)

6. Create a Tic-Tac-Toe program that will allow 2 human players to play each other on the computer. The computer will enforce rules for who can play where (such as you can not play in a space that is already marked) and recognize when a player has won or if the game is a draw. (Beginner)

7. Update the Tic-Tac-Toe program so that it will allow 0-2 players. 2 players will play each other on the computer. 1 player plays the computer. 0 players means the computer plays itself. The computer should have some strategies for playing so that playing against the computer is not just random. (Intermediate)

8. Update the Tic-Tac-Toe program so that the computer can learn to be a better player by observing how both the human and computer players have done, that is, which moves have won and which moves have lost. Also, as it learns to be a better player, make sure that it actually uses the better moves. (Expert)
