What is component state in React?

Component state in React refers to a built-in object that stores property values that belong to a component. It allows components to create and manage their own data.

How do I set the state in a functional component?

In functional components, you can use the useState hook to set and manage state. For example: const [count, setCount] = useState(0);.

Can you give me an example of using state in a component?

Sure! Here's a simple counter example:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return (
    <div>
      <p>You clicked {count} times</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Click me</button>
    </div>
  );
}
