React Hooks

React Hooks are functions that let developers add and manage features inside functional components without needing class-based components. They allow you to handle state (data that changes over time) and side effects (like fetching data or subscribing to events) more cleanly and efficiently. Hooks like `useState` and `useEffect` provide a straightforward way to make components more dynamic and interactive while keeping the code organized. Essentially, Hooks help make React code more readable, reusable, and easier to maintain by managing the component’s behavior and data internally.
