Description: `ComponentDidUpdate()` is prone to infinite loops. To prevent this problem, pass `prevProps` and `prevState` to `componentDidUpdate()`, compare them to your updated state/props, and only run the code if they are different. ``` componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) { if(prevState.count !== this.state.count) { this.getStarWarsCharacter(this.state.count) } } ```
