Why this matters: This information matters because it explains important introductory components to React.

1. Based off the diagram, what happens first, the render or the componentDidMount?
The render comes before the componentDidMount.
2. What is the very first thing to happen in the lifecycle of React?
Constructor is the first thing that happens, during Mounting, which is the first of the three phases.
3. Put the following things in the order that they happen: componentDidMount, render, constructor, componentWillUnmount, React Updates
Constructor, render, React Updates, componentDidMount, componentWillunmount
4. What does componentDidMount do?
It’s invoked immediately after a component is mounted in order to load anything using a network request or to initialize the DOM. This is a good place to set up subscriptions. setState() can be caused here, but will cause a rerender.

1. What types of things can you pass in the props?
Things the components store like a the initial number of a counter; in a display with title and subtitle, both title and subtitle can be passed. Things like text that won’t change or update and doesn’t need state.
2. What is the big difference between props and state?
Props is passed into a component and handled outside of the component, and state is handled inside the component.
3 When do we re-render our application?
When the user does something; when input changes; when the state is changed inside of the application.
4. What are some examples of things that we could store in state?
Nothing at the moment!
