No, Hooks do not directly replace Render Props and Higher-Order Components (HOCs), but they offer a cleaner and more flexible alternative for reusing logic across components.

Before Hooks were introduced in React 16.8, developers primarily used patterns like Render Props and HOCs to share stateful logic between components. While effective, these approaches often led to:

• Wrapper hell: Deeply nested component trees (especially with multiple HOCs).
• Props drilling: Passing functions and data through several layers.
• Code readability issues: Harder to follow the flow of logic.

Hooks solve these problems by allowing you to reuse stateful logic inside functional components without altering the component hierarchy. They make the code:

• Simpler (no need for extra components or wrappers).
• More readable (logic is co-located and modular through custom Hooks).
• Easier to maintain (less coupling between components).

In short: Hooks don’t eliminate the need for Render Props or HOCs — you can still use them when necessary — but in most cases, Hooks provide a simpler, more intuitive solution.
