🧠 Core Concepts: Making React Interactive

State as Memory
State remembers information that can change over time
Events as Reactions
Events are things that happen (clicks, typing, etc.)
useState Hook
A special function that gives components memory
Re-rendering
When state changes, React redraws the component

🔄 How State & Events Work Together

User Action
(click, type, submit)
Event Handler
(onClick, onChange)
State Update
(setState called)
Re-render
(UI updates automatically)

🎯 The React Magic: When state changes, React automatically re-renders your component with the new data. No manual DOM manipulation needed!
