I'm trying to implement a loop for this socket code, but I can't quite seem to wrap my head around it. Is anyone able to explain it for me?

Here's the code

import socket

HOST = '127.0.0.1'  # The server's hostname or IP address
PORT = 65432        # The port used by the server

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((HOST, PORT))
    s.sendall(b'Hello, world')
    data = s.recv(1024)

print('Received', repr(data))

    A loop for what purpose? To just send, recv, and print? If so, then don't you think send, recv, and print need to be in a loop? I'm not sure where you are confused. Commented Jun 8, 2021 at 4:43

Do you possible mean this?

import socket

HOST = '127.0.0.1'  # The server's hostname or IP address
PORT = 65432        # The port used by the server

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((HOST, PORT))
    while True:
        s.sendall(b'Hello, world')
        data = s.recv(1024)
        print('Received', repr(data))
