Why do we use stores to manage shared state in Svelte?

Stores let different components access and update the same data easily without passing props through many layers, making the app simpler and more organized.

How does a store help when multiple components need the same data?

A store keeps the data in one place. When one component changes the data, all other components using that store automatically update to show the new data.

What problem does using stores solve compared to passing props?

Passing props through many components can be confusing and hard to manage. Stores avoid this by letting components directly subscribe to shared data, reducing complexity.

Can stores in Svelte improve app performance? How?

Yes. Stores update only the components that use the shared data, so the app avoids unnecessary updates and stays fast.

What is the main purpose of a store in Svelte?

A To write CSS animations

B To style components

C To handle routing between pages

D To share and react to data changes across components

Stores hold shared data and notify components when data changes, enabling reactive updates.

How do stores help avoid prop drilling?

A By letting components subscribe directly to shared data

B By creating more nested components

C By duplicating data in each component

D By disabling reactivity

Stores allow components to access shared data directly without passing props through many layers.

When a store's data changes, what happens in Svelte?

A All subscribed components update automatically

B Nothing happens until the page reloads

C Only the first component updates

D The app crashes

Svelte automatically updates all components subscribed to the store when its data changes.

Which of these is NOT a benefit of using stores for shared state?

A Simplifies data sharing

B Automatically styles components

C Improves code organization

D Reduces prop drilling

Stores manage data, not styles. Styling is handled separately.

What kind of data is best managed with a store in Svelte?

A Static text that never changes

B Data used by only one component

Stores are ideal for data that many components need to access and update.

Explain in your own words why stores are useful for managing shared state in Svelte.
