What is the difference between useEffect and useState in React?

Can you explain the difference between useEffect and useState in React?

Sure! useState is a hook that lets you add state to your functional components, while useEffect lets you perform side effects in your components.

Can you give me an example of when to use useEffect?

Absolutely! You would use useEffect to fetch data from an API when the component mounts, or to set up a subscription.

What about useState? When should I use that?

You would use useState when you need to manage local state, like form inputs or toggling visibility of elements.

Can both hooks be used together?

Yes, they can! You often use useState to manage state and useEffect to respond to changes in that state.
