Question 1/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is JSX in React?

Available answers

JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript that resembles XML or HTML. It is used within React to describe what the UI should look like. Rather than separating logic and presentation as in some traditional approaches, JSX integrates HTML with JavaScript code, making it easier to visualize the structure of the UI.

😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
How do you create a class-based component in React?
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <div>Hello World</div>;
  }
}

Available answers

To create a class-based component in React, you use the 'class' keyword to define a new class that extends 'React.Component'. This class must include a 'render()' method that returns a React element.
Question 3/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which of these statements about state in React is true?

Available answers

State in React is used to store dynamic data that may change over time and influence the output of a component's render function. Contrary to props, which are passed into a component, state is local to the component and managed entirely within it.
Question 4/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
How does React update the user interface efficiently?

Available answers

React efficiently updates the user interface by using a virtual DOM. When changes occur, React creates a virtual DOM and calculates the differences between the new and previous versions. React then updates only the parts of the real DOM that changed, improving performance and reducing unnecessary updates.
Question 5/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
How can you bind functions to the correct context in React class components?

Available answers

In React class components, you can ensure methods have the correct context using arrow functions (since they don't create a 'this' context) or explicitly binding them using the
bind()
method inside the constructor.
Question 6/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is a React component?

Available answers

In React, a component is a JavaScript function or class that optionally accepts inputs (known as 'props') and returns a React element that describes how a section of the UI should appear. Components can be either stateful or stateless, and they can be composed within other components.
Question 7/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
How do you write comments in JSX?

Available answers

In JSX, you write comments using curly braces and '/* *'/ syntax. This allows for comments to be embedded within JSX code:
{/* Your comment here */}
. Regular JavaScript comments outside JSX work the same as usual.
Question 8/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What does the 'return' statement do in a React component?
function Greeting() {
  return <h1>Hello, world!</h1>;
}

Available answers

In a React component, the 'return' statement declares what JSX, or combination of React elements, should be displayed in the UI. This forms the basis of how the component renders itself to the DOM.
Question 9/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which method should be overridden to return a React element from a class component?

Available answers

The
render()
method is required for class components and should be overridden to return the React elements dictating what gets rendered to the DOM. The elements in the
render()
method directly represent the rendered interface.
Question 10/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
How do you handle events in React?

Available answers

In React, events are handled using camelCase syntax. Instead of using HTML attributes like 'onclick', you pass a function as the event handler in JSX:
<button onClick={handleClick}>Click Me</button>
.
Question 11/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Can React handle asynchronous operations within components?

Available answers

React can handle asynchronous operations such as API calls and timers within components. You can use lifecycle methods like 'componentDidMount' in class components or 'useEffect' hooks in function components to perform these operations.
Question 12/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which method is used to update state in a class component?

Available answers

In class components, you should use the 'setState()' method to update the component's state. This method ensures the component is re-rendered with the updated state and handles updating the state asynchronously.
Question 13/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
How do you declare a functional component in React?
function MyComponent() {
  return <div>Hello World</div>;
}

Available answers

In React, you can declare a functional component by defining a JavaScript function that returns a JSX element. This function receives 'props' as an argument and returns the UI representation.
Question 14/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
When should you use React's StrictMode?

Available answers

<React.StrictMode>
is used for highlighting potential problems in a React application. Enclosing the application in
<React.StrictMode>
helps developers identify unsafe lifecycles, legacy API usage, and multiple driver side effects.

😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
How can you pass data from a parent to a child component in React?

Available answers

To pass data from a parent to a child component in React, props are used. You can pass String, Object, Array, and Function in the props.
