I was asked this

Explain React Native to an interviewer: how it differs from React on the web, and from fully native iOS/Android development.

🎤 Answer it out loud, then check yourself

Say your answer as if the interviewer is listening (30–90 seconds). Then reveal what a strong answer covers and tick what you said.

    Try it · run and change it
    // Web React vs React Native for the same card (shown as data so it runs here)
const web = { root: "div", title: "h2", tap: "button onClick" };
const native = { root: "View", title: "Text", tap: "Pressable onPress" };
for (const part of Object.keys(web)) console.log(part.padEnd(5), web[part].padEnd(16), "→", native[part]);
    Answer out loud first, then compare.
