Week 3 Assessment

Try your best to answer each question on your own before looking up the answer online. Once you're done writing your first answer, you can google the question and write the best answer you find.

1. Here is a list of pros and cons to using the React library to build your application -- but some of them are false. Remove the false statements from the list:

• React was created to be simple, so that even people with minimal code experience could use it and create Single Page Applications (SPAs)
• React is a modern, efficient answer to complex UI applications
• React is a full stack framework for modern web applications
• React is a flexible library that plays the role of V in an MVC framework

5. There are three mistakes in this code that would cause it to break our application. Find the mistakes and fix them:

import React, { Component } from 'react';

class Recipes {
  constructor(props){
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      recipes: 
        {name: 'Meatballs'},
        {name: 'Mac & Cheese'}
  
    }
  }

  render() {

    return (

      let recipes = this.state.recipes.map(function(recipe){
        return(
          <li key={recipe.name}>{recipe.name}</li>
        )
      })

      <ul>
        {recipes}
      </ul>
    );
  }
}

export default Recipes;

9. Write a paragraph or so about your experience with building tic-tac-toe.
