The server listens for incoming connections from clients. When a client connects, the server creates a new thread to handle communication with that client. The server listens for messages from all connected clients and broadcasts those messages to all other connected clients.
The client sends messages to the server by creating a new thread to handle communication with the server. The client listens for incoming messages from the server and displays them in the graphical user interface.
