All of the lifecycle methods might feel a bit theoretical, until you’ve used them in real-life scenarios. You’ll be doing more of that in the next course.

In example.js, task 2 tells us not to put yellow in quotes as “yellow is defined on line 3 as a variable.” However, it’s defined in line 3 of TopNumber.js, not example.js and TopNumber.js doesn’t import example.js, so how does example.js know what the value of yellow is?
Open TopNumber.js you shoud be working in TopNumber.js

This is deprecated now in React.
please check out the documentation so you don’t start by learning bad practices.
componentWillUpdate,
componentWillReceiveProps and
componentWillMount all are UNSAFE according to react and they have been deprecated since 2018.
