In computer science (and especially the world of functional programming), [a pure function](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function) is a function with the following characteristics:
* **Minds its own business.** It does not change any objects or variables that existed before it was called.
* **It minds its own business.** It does not change any objects or variables that existed before it was called.
* **Same inputs, same output.** Given the same inputs, a pure function should always return the same result.
You might already be familiar with one example of pure functions: formulas in math.

* A component must be pure, meaning:

* **It minds its own business.** It should not change any objects or variables that existed before rendering.
* **Same inputs, same output.** Given the same inputs, a component should always return the same JSX.
* Rendering can happen at any time, so components should not depend on each others' rendering sequence.
* You should not mutate any of the inputs that your components use for rendering. That includes props, state, and context. To update the screen, ["set" state](reacting-to-input-with-state) instead of mutating preexisting objects.
