Need help on Simple Socket Programming in C++.

Question:

The client enters a weight in pounds and sends it to the server as a positive float number and the server converts it into kg and displays it. This process continues until the user provides a negative value, in this case, the application should end.

server.cpp #include #include #pragma comment(lib, "Ws2_32.lib")

int main() {

WSADATA wsaData; if (WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2, 2), &wsaData) != 0) { std::cout << "Could not start DLLs" << std::endl; return 0; }

SOCKET ListenSocket; ListenSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP); if (ListenSocket == INVALID_SOCKET) { std::cout << "Could not create socket" << std::endl; WSACleanup(); return 0; }

struct sockaddr_in SvrAddr; SvrAddr.sin_family = AF_INET; SvrAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1"); SvrAddr.sin_port = htons(27000); if (bind(ListenSocket, (struct sockaddr*)&SvrAddr, sizeof(SvrAddr)) == SOCKET_ERROR) { std::cout << "Could not bind socket to address" << std::endl; closesocket(ListenSocket); WSACleanup(); return 0; }

if (listen(ListenSocket, 1) == SOCKET_ERROR) { std::cout << "Could not start to listen" << std::endl; closesocket(ListenSocket); WSACleanup(); return 0; }

std::cout << "Waiting for client connection" << std::endl;

SOCKET ClientSocket; ClientSocket = accept(ListenSocket, NULL, NULL); if (ClientSocket == INVALID_SOCKET) { std::cout << "Failed to accept connection" << std::endl; closesocket(ListenSocket); WSACleanup(); return 0; }

closesocket(ListenSocket); std::cout << "Connection Established" << std::endl;

char RxBuffer[128] = {}; recv(ClientSocket, RxBuffer, sizeof(RxBuffer), 0); std::cout << "Msg Rx: " << RxBuffer << std::endl;

char TxBuffer[128] = "Thanks for your message!"; send(ClientSocket, TxBuffer, sizeof(TxBuffer), 0);

closesocket(ClientSocket); WSACleanup();

return 0; }

client.cpp

#include #include #pragma comment(lib, "Ws2_32.lib")

char TxBuffer[128] = {}; std::cout << "Enter a String to transmit" << std::endl;

//std::cin >> TxBuffer; std::cin.getline(TxBuffer, sizeof(TxBuffer));

send(ClientSocket, TxBuffer, sizeof(TxBuffer), 0);

char RxBuffer[128] = {}; recv(ClientSocket, RxBuffer, sizeof(RxBuffer), 0); std::cout << "Response: " << RxBuffer << std::endl;

closesocket(ClientSocket); WSACleanup();

return 0; }
