That's really what I meant, I just suggested looking at the other language's code if you get stuck and need help solving the problem. There are several answers to a problem.
Another fun source for interested problems is
ACM intercollegiate Programming Competition . They give a List of problem sets that are supposed to be answered "quickly", but you can take your sweet time. Just go to the past problems section and the archives and have fun.
As DaWei said it's the PROBLEM you need to solve. And no the programming isn't just C/C++ it's C/C++ Java, C/C++, and Pascal. But the problems are there so you can solve them in ANY language you want.
I have to make it know that I and for solving problems, PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS, not translations (unless that is the problem
).
