Quote Sender and Receiver

This project includes two simple Java files demonstrating how to send and receive messages (quotes) over a network using UDP (User Datagram Protocol).

Files Description

QuoteSender.java

This file sends quotes to a specified receiver.

• Imports:

  • Network communication libraries (DatagramSocket, DatagramPacket, InetAddress).
  • Utility libraries (Arrays, List).

• Main functionality:

  1. Defines a list of inspirational quotes.
  2. Creates a socket to send data (DatagramSocket).
  3. Targets the local computer (localhost) on port 5555.
  4. Sends each quote from the list every 10 seconds.

QuoteReceiver.java

This file receives and prints quotes sent by the QuoteSender.java.

• Imports:

  • Network communication libraries (DatagramSocket, DatagramPacket).

• Main functionality:

  1. Creates a socket (DatagramSocket) to listen on port 5555.
  2. Continuously listens for incoming packets (quotes).
  3. Upon receiving a packet, it converts the received data into readable text.
  4. Prints the received quotes to the console.

How to Run

Step-by-Step:

1. Compile the files:

   javac QuoteSender.java QuoteReceiver.java

2. Open two terminal windows:

   Terminal 1 (Receiver):

   java QuoteReceiver

   Terminal 2 (Sender):

   java QuoteSender

You will see quotes being sent from the sender and printed in the receiver console every 10 seconds.

Requirements

• Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your computer.
