React relies on the order of hooks to serve as keys, eliminating the need for explicit key usage. This means that if hook A is called first and hook B is called second, the order of states is appropriately marked. While this design is convenient, it comes with a caveat: the calling order is determined at runtime, not during code compilation. This runtime variability is a potential concern, but with awareness and careful coding practices, this design remains highly functional. To give an example, we can set up a case using an if statement.
