What is a client?
A server can also be a client of another entity.
Client code is code (in some class
A)
that uses objects of another class (B). The code in
A is only client code with
respect to class B (or with respect to all classes whose
objects it uses). Code in class B, though, may in turn be
client code of other classes (e.g., D and E), if
it uses objects of those classes. The client code of any class is
always the code outside of that class that wants to use it.
