Assignments:
1. Open Eclipse and create the project week7.network 2. Under the project ? src ? create the package its.day15.sockets 3. Right click on the package ? create a NEW ? CLASS - ClientSocket.
4. Type the source of this class provided above.
5. Get rid of red lines and Run ? As Java Application 6. This program will run without any message in the console waiting for server response
7. But it will not come! Why? The server program is not in place yet!
8. Stop the program and move to the next session to get the server side ready?
