I want to build a code which given an ip-address just prints the finalresult reachable or not. I guess we have to use ping command but am not able to correctly implement it.

Note that “reachability” on IP networks is kind of tricky to test for.
It’s perfectly possible that a server machine is running any number of real services (www, ftp, whatever), but has been configured not to reply to pings since some people do that.
If possible, it’s better to just connect like the real service you want to check for.
