Winsock Math Operations client \ server

[tmcfadden]

As always 2kaud, Thanks in advance for your insight. It's greatly valued.

As you referenced, I am using the very same code as the last exercise, which accepts command arguments and establishes a connection.
So on the client end, I took a crack at adding some code to prompt the end-user.
I'm able to retrieve all the info from the user and stuff it in 3 variables from the client side, see code:

float f1;
	float f2;
	char mFunc;
	
	// Prompt user for two floating point numbers and what math operation.
	cout << "Enter the first decimal number." << endl;
	cin >> f1;
	cout << "Enter the second decimal number." << endl;
	cin >> f2;
	cout << "Which mathmatical operation would you like to use? (+, -, *, /)" << endl;
	cin >> mFunc;
	cout << "You've entered " << f1 <<" " << mFunc << " "<< f2 << " to be calculated. Sending to server for processing, One moment please." << endl;

but if I'm reading you correctly, I'd need to send that in a string to the server in this portion of code:

sprintf(szBuf, "From the Client [%s]", szSvr);

	nRet = send(theSocket,					
				  szBuf,				
				  (int)strlen(szBuf),		
				  0);

Have I missed the boat completely, or am I on the right track?
