What is the difference between state and props in React?

What is the difference between state and props in React?

In React, 'state' is a local data storage that is mutable, while 'props' are immutable and passed from parent to child components.

Can you give me an example of how to use state?

Sure! You can use the useState hook to create state in a functional component. For example: const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

And how do props work in a component?

Props are passed to components like attributes. For example: <ChildComponent name='John' /> allows ChildComponent to access 'name' via props.

Why should I use state instead of props?

You should use state when you need to manage data that changes over time within a component, while props are for passing data.
