Hooks

Hooks are tools in programming, especially in frameworks like React, that allow developers to add or modify behavior in a component without changing its core structure. Think of hooks as special functions that let you manage state, handle side effects, or reuse logic across different parts of an application more cleanly. They help make code more organized, readable, and maintainable by enabling developers to "hook into" the component’s lifecycle and data flow seamlessly. Essentially, hooks simplify complex tasks and enable more efficient, functional programming within user interfaces.
