Hello,

We are very much begginers at programming in general, and it would be great if you could keep that in mind when helping us!

Could someone please explain just what a socket is?
We are working on a program which will solve a 3D puzzle, handed to us by a known server.
Basically what we need to do is establish a connection between the klient and the server, and "sockets" seem to be significant in this process.

Many great thanks in advance!!
