What is useReducer and when should you use it?

useReducer is a React Hook used for managing complex state logic. It works similarly to Redux by using a reducer function and dispatch actions to update state. It is particularly useful when state transitions involve multiple related values or when state updates depend on previous state. For simple state updates, useState is usually sufficient, but useReducer provides better structure for complex scenarios.
