- java Server 4242
- (open n new terminal) java Client 127.0.0.1 4242 (login):
- Sample commads are just like the examples given in the homework. Can also take a look at the Test_Report.pdf
- Expalnations of code are notes in the code files.
- additional features: (1)When A requests for B’s IP address, the message centre should notify B that A wants to talk it. If B agrees to the conversation, the server should provide A with B’s IP address. Else, A cannot initiate a conversation with B.
