I'm trying to understand the difference between a client and a client server. I know they are both involved in network communications, but what exactly distinguishes them from each other?

    The interaction between clients and servers takes place through a network, which facilitates the exchange of data and the performance of various tasks.

    A client can be defined as a hardware or software entity that initiates requests for resources or services from a server.

    On the other hand, a server is a hardware or software component responsible for providing these requested resources or services to users.

    Clients rely on servers to access information, execute programs, or utilize specific functionalities offered by the server.
