The IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves two primary functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing.
Example:
An IP address is a series of numbers and decimals that are assigned to each device connected to a network. For example, a computer connected to a network may have an IP address of 192.168.1.1. This address is used to identify the device and its location on the network.
