Oh, I’m glad you asked! The error message “transport endpoint is not connected” usually comes up in the context of networking, mainly when you’re dealing with socket programming. It essentially occurs when your client-side application or program is trying to communicate with a server but the connection has been severed or, possibly, never even established.

Imagine this situation: You’re on a telephone call (your application) and you’re trying to talk to your friend (the server), but your friend has already hung up or maybe their phone isn’t even on. You can talk all you want, but with no one on the other end to receive your message, it’s a wasted effort. That’s what’s happening with your program. It wants to send or receive data, but the “phone” (in this case, the socket) has been disconnected, so it brings up the “transport endpoint is not connected” error.

Hope this helps to clear that up!
