## React Native - Screen Dimensions
-React Native uses Dots Per Inch (DPI) to measure the sizing of the User Interface (UI) and anything displayed on the UI. This type of measurement allows an application to look uniform across various screen sizes and pixel densities.
+React Native uses Dots Per Inch (DPI) to measure the sizing and anything displayed on the User Interface (UI). This type of measurement allows an application to look uniform across various screen sizes and pixel densities.
For standard use cases, applications can be developed without having to know the specifics of the user's device (e.g. pixel density) since the UI elements will scale automatically. When it is required, there are APIs available such as `PixelRatio` for finding out the pixel density of the user's device.
-React Native provides an API called `Dimensions` that can be used to get the width and height of the window or screen of a user's device.

The width and height of the window object can be easily retrieved, like so:
```js
-const width = Dimensions.get("window").width
-const height = Dimensions.get("window").height
+const width = Dimensions.get('window').width;

// if you're feeling fancy, you could also use object destructuring to get those values out of the object that `Dimensions.get("window")` returns
-const { width, height } = Dimensions.get("window")

## Component State
In `Class` components, there is a way to store and manage state built in to React Native.

class App extends Component {
- constructor () {

super();
this.state = {
- counter: 0
+ counter: 0,
};

this.setState({

State is similar to props, but it is private and fully controlled by the component. Here, the `constructor()` method is calling the parent class' constructor with `super();` - **`Component`** is the parent class of `App` because we are using the `extends` keyword. The `constructor()` method also initializes the component's state object:
