C++ can be used to program basically anything, it's extremely powerful and versatile.

For some example programs, I'd visit http://www.1cplusplusstreet.com/

some common uses

I used C++ for solving math problems in Jr. High and although I dont advocate, this people make viruses and serial number generators. Other uses could be for making video games and large math calculations.

I just took my last C++ final today (hope I passed!). Anyway, I highly recomend learning something like C++. It has allowed me to pick up other things really quickly like PHP.
