So, with regards to Components and Advanced JSX, 6/6:

If you would like to practice your learned skills, consider these challenges:
Add logic to the MyQuote component to produce different quotes based on different conditions.
Add elements onto the screen that can respond to events such as clicking or hovering. Make sure to define event handlers for them within the component.

Any thoughts about the following? Hovering does not work, everything else does:

import React, { useState } from 'react'; //to use state & react functional event handler components

function MyQuote() { //definition of MyQuote component as a function with 3 state variables using hook = useState
  const [quote, setQuote] = useState("Initial quote");
  const [message, setMessage] = useState("");
  const [condition, setCondition] = useState(false);

//now 3 event handlers
  const handleClick = () => {
    setQuote("New quote after clicking the button!");
  };

  const handleMouseOver = () => {
    setMessage("You are hovering over the paragraph!");
  };

  const handleToggleCondition = () => {
    setCondition(!condition);
  };

  let displayedQuote = quote;

  if (condition) {
    displayedQuote = "Alternate quote";
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <blockquote>
        <p>{displayedQuote}</p>
        <cite>
          <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Sontag">
            Susan Sontag
          </a>
        </cite>
      </blockquote>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Change Quote</button>
      <p onMouseOver={handleMouseOver}>{message}</p>
      <button onClick={handleToggleCondition}>Toggle Condition</button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default MyQuote;
