Could you tell me what the meaning of “(state =5)” is in the reducer? It means if the next state is equal to 5, then react the state equal to 5?

  **Your code so far**


const reducer = (state = 5) => {
return state;
}

// Redux methods are available from a Redux object
// For example: Redux.createStore()
// Define the store here:

If there was no argument passed to the function, the default input is 5.

Yes, remember that when the reducer is first called, when redux is setting up, the state is unefined. You have to give it an initial value.
