So ya mean I need to remove the close socket?
I've tried commenting it and found out that it's the read data problem is that true.
I'm not really familiar with the C programming commands so kinda confused with it.
Mind guiding me along?
It works thanks!! But got a slight problem
The list of output has shown.
I've tried typing the input lets say, Vietnam.
It works for the first time.
The 2nd time I typed Singapore, it works too.
However on the 3rd try, I typed Vietnam again.
It shows Vietnamre which shows that it cannot be found and the re of the previously Singapore is added behind Vietnam.
I've tried entered Netherlands and it works.
When I typed back Vietnam again the letters behind is added with ands.
I've declared the char country to 300 but it' still not working though
Ah yes of course. You will want the memset() also at the end of that while loop. Or, at beginning you may do country[c]=0 to null terminate it there.
Also while thinking about it, is best to use sizeof(country) in place of the 300 in memset and read. You want to also save 1 byte for NUL termination so in read() replace 300 with "sizeof(country)-1" this is so that if you ever change the size, you only need to change it in 1 place. The rest is taken care of by the compiler.
