->React doesn’t use the `state = initialState` argument convention popularized by Redux. The initial value sometimes needs to depend on props and so is specified from the Hook call instead. If you feel strongly about this, you can write `state = initialState` both in the reducer and inside the `useReducer` destructuring assignment, but it's not encouraged.

If you feel strongly about this, you can call `useReducer(reducer, undefined, reducer)` to emulate the Redux behavior, but it's not encouraged.
 
 #### Lazy initialization
 
-If calculating the initial state is expensive, you can initialize it lazily. In that case, you can skip the second argument (and pass `undefined`). The third `useReducer` argument is an optional `init` function that you can provide to calculate the initial value once:
+You can also create the initial state lazily. To do this, you can pass an `init` function as the third argument. The initial state will be set to `init(initialArg)`.
-
-```js{3-4}
-  const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(
-    reducer,
-    undefined,
-    () => ({count: initialCount})
-  );
-```
-
-#### Lazy initialization with a transform
-
-For the most flexibility, you can specify *both* the second `initialArg` and the third `init` function arguments. In that case, the initial state will be set to `init(initialArg)`.
 
-This is handy if you want to extract the lazy initialization logic outside your reducer:
+It lets you extract the logic for calculating the initial state outside the reducer. This is also handy for resetting the state later in response to an action:
