# Java Examples - Create a Socket

## Problem Description:

How to create a socket at a specific port?

## Solution:

Following example shows how to sing Socket constructor of Socket class.And also get Socket details using getLocalPort() getLocalAddress , getInetAddress() & getPort() methods.

    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.net.InetAddress;
    import java.net.Socket;
    import java.net.SocketException;
    import java.net.UnknownHostException;

    public class Main {
       public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
             InetAddress addr =
             InetAddress.getByName("74.125.67.100");
             Socket theSocket = new Socket(addr, 80);
             System.out.println("Connected to "
             + theSocket.getInetAddress()
             + " on port " + theSocket.getPort() + " from port "
             + theSocket.getLocalPort() + " of "
             + theSocket.getLocalAddress());
          }
          catch (UnknownHostException e) {
             System.err.println("I can't find " + e  );
          }
          catch (SocketException e) {
             System.err.println("Could not connect to " +e );
          }
          catch (IOException e) {
             System.err.println(e);
          }
       }
    }

## Result:

The above code sample will produce the following result.

    Connected to /74.125.67.100 on port 80 from port
    2857 of /192.168.1.4
