C/C++ Network Programming Projects Overview

• There's essentially two types of C programs in this repository

  1. a client server program which implements a class registration platform. The program should allow the user to register themselves by entering their details which include the student registration number and names. The program should maintain a list of registered students in a text file with the following format. No double registrations
  2. a client server program which implements a simple calculator. The calculator can perform the following operations (+, -, ×, /) chosen by the user on any two integers supplied by the user.

• Each of these programs have tcp (connection-oriented) and udp (connectionless) implementations.

• Furthermore, those implementations each have concurrent versions and iterative versions

• To achieve concurrency, the following techniques have been employed:

  a) Use of fork() function
  b) Use of select() function. Note that select() has only been implemented for concurrent-oriented (tcp) versions.
  c) Use of threads. Note that servers implemented with threads are of .cpp file extension and not .c
