Features

• Connects to a server at a specified IP address and port (default 7777).
• Prompts the user for a username to identify themselves on the server.
• Sends messages typed by the user to the server.
• Receives messages from the server and displays them on the console. (STILL NOT IMPLEMENTED)

Explanation of the Code

• Program.java: This class contains the main function of the client. It prompts the user for the server address and username, attempts to connect to the server, and enters a loop that continuously sends messages entered by the user and receives messages from the server.
• The program uses a Scanner object to get user input for server address and username.
• It establishes a connection to the server using a Socket object.
• It uses InputStream and OutputStream objects to communicate with the server (send and receive messages).
• The program keeps trying to connect to the server in a loop if the connection is lost.
