Python Socket Calculator

python is a programming language Python is really easy to understand and easy to code.

how to use:

• run "python server.py" in terminal
• run "python client.py" in another terminal
• insert the ip of the server, or "127.0.0.1" if run locally
• insert operator
• insert first operand
• insert second operand
• server will send the result of the computation then client will print the result
• type "exit" to exit the program, just press enter to continue

server.py explanation

• 1st line to import the library
• 3rd line to create socket object
• 4th line to bind the program to port 3000
• 6th line to restrict server to only listen to 1 client
• 7th line to accept incomming connection
• 10th line to prepare the variable
• 11th - 18th line to recieve data from client and then append it into list
• in line 12th if the first data to be recieved is "exit" then the program will exit
• 19th - 26th line to calculate the data
• 28th line to send the data to the client

client.py explanation

• 1st line to import the library
• 3rd line to create socket object
• 5th line to connect to the server
• 8th - 10th line to input the operator, operandA, and operandB
• 11th - 13th line to send the data to server
• 14th line to recieve the result and then print it to the console
• 15th line to ask the user wether the user want to exit or continue
• 16th - 18th line to exit the program if the user want to exit
