when i was an undergrad, the programming leap from intro to the next course was 'make a class with 3 functions' as the final project and the first assignment in the next was 'code a red/black tree parser' it was .... difficult

in college CS 1 thru 3 were in Java, but then 4 was in C++ "because it's time to take the training wheels off." it was super fun watching everyone who was confident in their programming ability suddenly panic because pointers exist not that i was particularly great at it either, we had to do this semester project with like, different features due at different points of the semester, and in the middle we all had one-on-one meetings with the professor to talk about the project. i walked in and he pulled mine up and the first thing he said was "oh yeah yours was the one that hard-locked my computer when i tried to run it"

the first real language I learned was non-++ C and adapting to an object model took a while don't think I ever wrote a giant pile of gotos outside of the grade school basic/logo days though

the best assigned project I ever did in programming class was writing a lan simulator, where threads were routers and local sockets were cables. you had to have it create a topology, generate routing tables on each router-thread using only the socket-cables, and run a bunch of diagnostics to prove it was working right

The same is true in red-black trees, but in addition, the deletion process is, as you might expect, complicated by the need to restore red- black correctness after the node is removed.

CS programming assignments were so fun because you were never expected to make anything useful and weren't allowed to use libraries that would do the fun parts for you. If I ever make it rich I'd do that all day

back in 2002 when i was a comp sci major we learned c++. first semester started with make an unbeatable tic tac to game, then make one that's recursive instead of a mile of if statements, then expand that to play go and build a dll (using some libraries provided) to play against the prof's ai. bonus points if you could actually beat his. i changed majors to classical guitar after dropping the course halfway through. programming was not for me.
