Definitions often confuse people. You learn best by building small projects.

useState stores data. It updates your screen when data changes.

The code looks like this: const [state, setState] = useState(initialValue);

• state: current value
• setState: function to update the value
• initialValue: starting value

Example 1: Password Toggle. You start with a false value. The input hides the password. You click a button. The state changes to true. The input shows the password.

Example 2: Todo App. This project helps you manage lists.

• Add tasks
• Edit tasks
• Delete tasks

Every change updates the state array. React updates your list automatically.

Follow this flow:

• State changes
• Component re-renders
• UI updates

Use state when data changes and your UI must update.
