freeCodeCamp Challenge Guide: Render Conditionally from Props

Render Conditionally from Props Hints Hint 1 Use Math.random() with the ternary operator to return true or false. Hint 2 Render the Results component within the GameOfChance component. Pass the variable expression to Results as a prop called fiftyFifty. Hint 3 Correct the counter property of the state so that the handleClick() method increments it by 1. Solutions Solution 1 (Click to Show/Hide)

this part:

  handleClick() {
    this.setState({
      counter: this.state.counter + 1 // change code here
    });
  }

Isn’t this supposed to be a function for result based on previous value?
like:

  handleClick() {
    this.setState(state => ({
....

or is there a reason it’s not necessary?
thanks

you can set the state to whatever you want; even a boolean. setState(true) would be allowed. You don’t need the updater argument

React.Component – React

Typescript may stop from setting any value you want but that’s kind of getting ahead
