For this exercise a program is open a socket to localhost on port 256 and send the message "hello socket world" before closing the socket.

Catching any exceptions or errors is not required.




var host = Socket.gethostbyname('localhost');
var in = Socket.sockaddr_in(256, host);
var proto = Socket.getprotobyname('tcp');
 
var sock = Socket.open(Socket.AF_INET, Socket.SOCK_STREAM, proto);
sock.connect(in);
sock.send('hello socket world', 0, in);
sock.close;
