What is React?

React is like a set of magical building blocks that grown-ups use to make cool websites and games!

Imagine you're playing with colorful blocks. You can stack them, move them, and make all sorts of things. React is just like that, but for computer programmers!

What can React do?

  • Create fun games you can play online
  • Build colorful websites with moving parts
  • Make buttons that do cool things when you click them
  • Create picture books and stories that you can interact with

How React Works

It's like giving instructions to your computer friend

React Code Example

This is like a magic spell that creates a button:

function MagicButton() {
  return (
    <button onClick={() => alert("Wow!")}>
      Click Me!
    </button>
  );
}

This code creates a button that says "Wow!" when you click it.
