I sometimes see things like C8 or A4 or whatever and they refer to note positions on the piano. Can someone please explain this for me?

Thanks.

You've answered your own question. What is it you want to know?

They are referring to the number of the note in order from the left of the keyboard, C1 being the first C, three being the third C,etc.
