However, on click userInput gets reset and I want to keep the and then for it to be cleared.
Ive tried implementing delays on the reset but this completely crashes everything
**Your code so far**
const inputStyle = {
width: 235,
margin: 5
};
class MagicEightBall extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
userInput: '',
randomIndex: ''
};
this.ask = this.ask.bind(this);
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
}
ask() {
if (this.state.userInput) {
this.setState({
randomIndex: Math.floor(Math.random() * 20),
userInput: ''
});
}
}
handleChange(event) {
this.setState({
userInput: event.target.value
});
}
render() {
const possibleAnswers = [
'It is certain',
'It is decidedly so',
'Without a doubt',
'Yes, definitely',

const answer = possibleAnswers[this.state.randomIndex]; // Change this line
return (
