Server.java

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(5001);
            Socket client = server.accept();
            DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(client.getOutputStream());
            os.writeBytes("Hello Sockets\n");
            client.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            Socket socClient = new Socket("localhost", 5001);
            InputStream is = socClient.getInputStream();
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
            String receivedData = br.readLine();
            System.out.println("Received Data: " + receivedData);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
