component-based architecture.
Q2: What are React components?

functional.
Q3: What is JSX?

Q4: Difference between state and props?
A: Props are read-only and passed from parent to child, while state is mutable and managed within
the component.
Q5: What are React hooks?
A: Functions like useState, useEffect, useContext, etc., that allow using state and lifecycle features
in functional components.

components use refs and the DOM directly.
