My generic programming examples are pretty high up on the totem pole. Maybe the users need some real rudimentary stuff like including the headers, doing add/sub/mul/div and sqrt, sin, log, exp, etc. Setting the precision of the output stream and getting the numbers. You might want to provide some intuitive, easy-to-understand "four-banger" stuff. Do you remember what a four-banger is? (And the rest of you, stop giggling! It was a calculator.)
