Detailed explanation-1: -Used in home and corporate networks, a client is any computer hardware or software device that requests access to a service provided by a server. Clients are typically seen as the requesting program or user in a client-server architecture.
Detailed explanation-2: -A client is a program that uses services that other programs provide. The programs that provide the services are called servers. The client makes a request for a service, and a server performs that service.
Detailed explanation-3: -A host is any computer connected to a network.
