Answer 1

Answer:

Socket programming is a way of connecting two nodes on a network to communicate with each other. One socket(node) listens on a particular port at an IP, while other socket reaches out to the other to form a connection. Server forms the listener socket while client reaches out to the server.

They are the real backbones behind web browsing. In simpler terms there is a server and a client.

Socket programming is started by importing the socket library and making a simple socket

Explanation:

Here we made a socket instance and passed it two parameters. The first parameter is AF_INET and the second one is SOCK_STREAM. AF_INET refers to the address family ipv4. The SOCK_STREAM means connection oriented TCP protocol.

Now we can connect to a server using this socket.
