hi all,
I'm reading this book that says when creating a socket you have to use the
socket.socket() *function *as in :
ss=socket.socket()
but whey i check they type it says it's a class which makes sense cause
you're creating a socket object.
type(ss)
<class 'socket.socket'>
so, which is it? or do authors loosely use these terms interchangeably in
this context?
Yes. Sometimes people call things a function when technically they mean a
"callable". A callable is anything that can be called like a function:
functions, classes, types, methods, etc.
