In Java, you can create a client socket using the java.net.Socket class. Here's an example code snippet that shows how to create a client socket in Java:

import java.net.*;

public class ClientSocketExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Create a new socket object with the server IP address and port number
            Socket socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 8080);

            // Use the socket object to send and receive data with the server
            // ...

            // Close the socket when done
            socket.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
 

In the example above, we first import the java.net package that provides the Socket class. Then we create a new Socket object by passing in the IP address and port number of the server we want to connect to.

Once we have the Socket object, we can use it to send and receive data with the server by getting its input and output streams. After we are done with the socket, we close it using the close() method to free up system resources.

Note that creating a client socket in Java may throw an IOException if there is an error during the connection process, so it's important to wrap the socket code in a try-catch block to handle any exceptions that may occur.
