Can someone explain the stock market to me?

I've never really went into stocks and the stock market all that much. Can somebody explain the stock market, buying, and selling stocks.

Answer by Kudzai of EntrepreneurCrunch
Definition of 'Stock Market'
The market in which shares are issued and traded either through exchanges or
over-the-counter markets. Also known as the equity market, it is one of the most
vital areas of a market economy as it provides companies with access to capital
and investors with a slice of ownership in the company and the potential of gains
based on the company's future performance.
Investopedia explains 'Stock Market'
This market can be split into two main sections: the primary and secondary
market. The primary market is where new issues are first offered, with any
subsequent trading going on in the secondary market.
