Yeah… i couldn’t find a section to put this in but anyways i guess its a stupid question… anyways, im starting to use C and C# and C++, etc… and im confused… when i try to compile the script im trying to make (my friend sent me it) it gives me some errors about not having the files… but here is the part which i do not understand

```auto

#include <winsock2.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

```

what does this mean? what files do i need? and where do iget it?

Some help would be fantastic:red:
