question about example i found on internet

[niba10]

Hey i want to build a multithreaded server and client and i go to google -.-
to look for some example and i found a really good one this :
Multi-threaded Client/Server Applications

and i want to ask why it can only accept until 10 connection and not more than 10 ??

I'm not sure that you've read the complete article or not?

Didn't you find the following?

// This chat server can accept up to 10 clients' connections

static clientThread t[] = new clientThread[10];

yee thats my question why it can accept only 10 connection i mean if i will change the array to 100 or 200 (how many i wish) it will work to ?

[Eranga]

Did you try it? Change the value and run your application and see yourself.

i changed to 15 and it still can only connect up to 10 connections ..
but why its happen and cannot connect more then 10 ??

[niba10]

Read the rest of the code ...

for(int i=0; i<=9; i++){
    if(t[i]==null) {
        (t[i] = new clientThread(clientSocket,t)).start();
        break;
   }
}
