useMemo and useCallback are both React hooks that are used to optimize performance in React applications. They do this by memoizing values and preventing unnecessary re-renders or recalculations. 

1. useMemo: This hook is used when you want to optimize expensive calculations. It returns a memoized value of the function's result, and only re-computes the memoized value when one of the dependencies has changed. 
   
   

   const memoizedValue = useMemo(() => computeExpensiveValue(a, b), [a, b]);

   
   
2. useCallback: This hook is used when you want to prevent unnecessary re-renders caused by the creation of new function instances. It returns a memoized version of the callback function that only changes if one of the dependencies has changed.
   
   

   const memoizedCallback = useCallback(() => {
     doSomething(a, b);
   }, [a, b]);

   
   

 Use useMemo when you need to optimize expensive calculations, and use useCallback when you need to prevent unnecessary re-renders due to the creation of new function instances.

• useMemo is used to memoize expensive calculations. It returns a memoized value that only changes if one of the dependencies has changed. This can be useful when you have a computationally expensive calculation that you only want to re-run when certain values change.

• useCallback, on the other hand, is used to memoize functions. This can be useful in scenarios where passing a callback to a child component could cause the child to re-render unnecessarily. By using useCallback, you ensure that the function doesn't change on every render unless its dependencies change.
