Try getting a purpose other than homework. Try to imagine something you do too often in your computer and use C to do it for you.

Alternatively try figuring out how Jack C. Louis and Robert E. Lee are doing that 3 year old tcp based service DoS which does not consume CPU/memory or bandwidth and works in every tcp stack implementation known to men. Then, create a C program of your own to also do that.

use g++ compiler for C++ syntax
use gcc compiler for C syntax

g++ & gcc included in Linux too...

g++ youCode.cpp -o compiledCode

-o the name of the compiled code.
compiledCode = any name you like
