Hi,
Kinda feels like you’re fishing for homework help 😅 but here you go:
ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(8080);
Socket client = server.accept();
If you’re just starting out or testing ideas, try playing around with DigitalOcean’s GenAI platform. It’s great for quick code stuff like this and gives you room to explore without judgment.
Heya,
Here are two lines of Java code that allow a server to listen for a client connection on a specific port:
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(1234); // Listen on port 1234
Socket clientSocket = serverSocket.accept(); // Wait for a client to connect
ServerSocket
opens the server port.
accept()
blocks until a client connects.
