Desperate Help Needed

[susanmg]

I have been trying to send multiple messages from client to server & do a comparison with a value read from a file. Until I added the comparison part, I had got everthing working. Ever since I did comparison, server doesn echo wat user writes in the client. M running out of time but I can't get the code to do what I want, pls help.

SERVER:

/*Does encryption and decryption, check car existence(read file), 
check timestamp differs from current timestamp no more than 1 min, 
if more than 1 min request retransmission Ability of branch to manage car, nform C if can't manage*/

Check your server 'while' loop - it just sits there flushing the output stream - it looks like there's a bunch of stuff missing. Even if the loop finished and the CarBranchInfo file was opened, I can't see where anything else gets output.

I suggest you either reformat the code so that the indentations match the curly braces, then step through it by hand, noting what happens and compare it with the sequence of steps from your design on paper. Or go back to the version that worked (before the comparison), then work out on paper how to fit it in before you write any code.

The sooner you start to code, the longer the program will take...
