this.state vs hooks code example

Example 1: declaring multiple state variables in react

function ExampleWithManyStates() {
  // Declare multiple state variables!
  const [age, setAge] = useState(42);
  const [fruit, setFruit] = useState('banana');
  const [todos, setTodos] = useState([{ text: 'Learn Hooks' }]);
  // ...
}

Example 2: update state in useState hook

// declare state using useState hook.
// someState is set to someInitialState
const [someState, setSomeState] = useState(someInitialState);

// setSomeState updates the current state 
setSomeState(someOtherState);
