# Chat Server and Client - Socket Programming in Python
This is a simple chat server and client project implemented using Python and socket programming. The server can handle multiple client connections concurrently, allowing them to exchange messages with each other.
## Features
- Basic chat functionality: Clients can send messages to the server, and the server will broadcast the received messages to all connected clients.
- Concurrent connections: The server uses threading to handle multiple client connections concurrently.
- Local testing: The chat server and client are designed to be tested locally on your machine.
## Requirements
- Python 3.x
## How to Use
1. First, clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:
```
git clone https://github.com/Shikha-code36/ChatServer_with_Socket_Python.git
```
2. Open a terminal window and navigate to the project directory.
3. Run the server script:
```
python server.py
```
4. Open another terminal window and navigate to the project directory.
5. Run the client script:
```
python client.py
```
6. The client will prompt you to enter your message. Type your message and press Enter to send it to the server. The server will respond with a confirmation message.
7. You can run multiple instances of the client script in separate terminal windows to simulate multiple clients connecting to the server.
