My socket won't close after my program is terminated regardless of if I use the .close method or not.

Hey, @light prawn!
Please remember to /close this post once your question has been answered!

can you send code?
light prawn
the gist of the program is that it takes in console input in the Client class and sends the message to the server and outputs a different message with the date.
worldly fossil
so the error is on client's side?
light prawn
so basically the socket won't close
the server object I created in the main method
it has a ServerSocket object field
worldly fossil
any errors?
light prawn
a bind exception
the ServerSocket is creating a connection but it's not killing it once the program ends
so I can't use the same port if I end the program unexpectedly without a Bind Exception

I'm using try with resources, I wanted to avoid using that with the SocketServer because I want to keep it as an instance variable
worldly fossil
you dont close DataInputStream
light prawn
where
can you show specifically?
everything besides the ServerSocket that is reading and writing is implicitly closed with try-with-resources
worldly fossil
you know what? my only tip is to puf serverSocket.close(); in try catches (error side)
otherwise sorry, but I have no idea
light prawn
otherwise sorry, but I have no idea
all good this has been a real pain but there is probably a simple fix
