🎯 Interview Preparation ​

Common Interview Questions ​

jsx
// 1. React lifecycle
class LifecycleExample extends Component {
    componentDidMount() {
        // Called after component mounts
        console.log('Component mounted');
    }
    
    componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) {
        // Called after component updates
        console.log('Component updated');
    }
    
    componentWillUnmount() {
        // Called before component unmounts
        console.log('Component about to unmount');
    }
    
    render() {
        return <div>Lifecycle Example</div>;
    }
}

// 2. Hook equivalent implementation
function HookExample() {
    useEffect(() => {
        // componentDidMount
        console.log('Component mounted');
        
        return () => {
            // componentWillUnmount
            console.log('Component about to unmount');
        };
    }, []);
    
    useEffect(() => {
        // componentDidUpdate
        console.log('Component updated');
    });
    
    return <div>Hook Example</div>;
}

// 3. State update principle
function StateUpdateExample() {
    const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
    
    const handleClick = () => {
        // What will this print?
        console.log('Before click:', count);
        setCount(count + 1);
        console.log('After click:', count); // Still old value
        
        // Correct way
        setCount(prevCount => {
            console.log('Updating:', prevCount);
            return prevCount + 1;
        });
    };
    
    return <button onClick={handleClick}>{count}</button>;
}

Coding Challenges ​

jsx
// Implement a useLocalStorage Hook
function useLocalStorage(key, initialValue) {
    const [value, setValue] = useState(() => {
        try {
            const item = window.localStorage.getItem(key);
            return item ? JSON.parse(item) : initialValue;
        } catch (error) {
            return initialValue;
        }
    });
    
    const setStoredValue = (newValue) => {
        try {
            setValue(newValue);
            window.localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(newValue));
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Failed to save to localStorage:', error);
        }
    };
    
    return [value, setStoredValue];
}

// Usage example
function App() {
    const [name, setName] = useLocalStorage('name', '');
    
    return (
        <input
            value={name}
            onChange={(e) => setName(e.target.value)}
