## Set State with this.setState
#### Hint 1:
```JSX
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
name: 'Initial State'
};
this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
}
handleClick() {
// change code below this line
// Update the state data by using "this.setState()" method.
// You can look to the sample inside the description for calling "setState()" method.
// change code above this line
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<button onClick={this.handleClick}>Click Me</button>
<h1>{this.state.name}</h1>
</div>
);
}
};
```
## Solution
```JSX
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
name: 'Initial State'
};
this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
}
handleClick() {
// change code below this line
this.setState({
name: 'React Rocks!'
});
// change code above this line
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<button onClick={this.handleClick}>Click Me</button>
<h1>{this.state.name}</h1>
</div>
);
}
};
```
### Code Explanation:
when users click the button the "handleClick()" method will be called and
inside this method the data of the constuctor\`s state will be updated by "setState()" method.
then h1 tag will be changed with the new data of the constructor\`s state.
