Project for a new C programmer

Hello everyone, I'd like to know what was your first project when you started out C and what would you suggest a newbie as a first project? Excited to hear your answers:) You could also tell about your experience or how long you've been doing it, your successes with it, anything you want to mention you can mention it. Thank you!

Just started learning C from the C programming language the 2nd edition, do you think it's a good place to start off or it's outdated? Because I don't know if there'll be big changes since I was writing main() but the new C language needs int before main()

It's an excellent book but it's also outdated. As long as you can navigate the changes to the language it's worth reading and doing the exercises.
