Some notes about the different paramaters for Server

The servers are hardcoded to only have 3 processes so please dont try to do it with more

- The port is the port given to the server. These cant be changed but will have to be changed on the client side as well. Default value is 8080

- The id is the id the server is known by. Default value is 0

- The endTime is the value that sets when the auction ends. This time is given in the format HH:MM:SS: Default value is 00:00:00

Some notes about the different paramters for Clients

- The name is the name of the client that gets printed on the result call. Default value is Bames Nond

- The server ports of the 3 servers. This is just given as a string seperated by spaces and the ports must contain a ":". Default value is :8080 :8081 :8082

- The id is just the client id. This value has to be different from other clients otherwise it will add the bid to the same client. Default value is 0
