Detailed explanation-1: -A socket is a communications connection point (endpoint) that you can name and address in a network. Socket programming shows how to use socket APIs to establish communication links between remote and local processes.
Detailed explanation-2: -A socket, combined with input and output streams, is something like a two-way phone connection.
