Key Insight
ElevatedButton and TextButton provide different visual styles for buttons in Flutter. ElevatedButton stands out with a shadow and raised look, good for primary actions. TextButton is flat and subtle, good for less prominent actions. Using Column inside Center neatly stacks buttons in the middle of the screen.
