- 
Socket Creation: - The socketfunction initializes a socket using IPv4 (AF_INET) and TCP (SOCK_STREAM).
 
- The 
- 
Server Address Setup: - The server’s IP address and port are defined in a sockaddr_instructure.
 
- The server’s IP address and port are defined in a 
- 
Connection: - The connectfunction establishes a connection to the specified server address.

Example Usage
- Server: Set up a simple TCP server on port 8080(e.g., using Python or another tool).
- Client: Compile and run this program to connect to the server, send a message, and print the server’s response.
