State is a set of data that belongs to a component and can change over time. When the state changes, React re-renders the component with the new data. State is mutable and is defined within the component using the useState hook.

Using State with useState:

• The useState hook returns two values: the current state value and a function to update that value.
• State can hold any type of data, such as numbers, strings, objects, or arrays.

Example of State usage:

              {`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>
                );
              }
      
              export default Counter;`}
