I'm working on a React project that uses Redux for state management. I need to access the Redux store to retrieve and update data, but I'm not sure about the correct way to do it. Can someone explain the proper method to access the Redux store?
In the realm of React applications enhanced with Redux, the cornerstone lies in the store, which functions as the custodian of the application's state. This state encapsulates all the necessary information that the app requires to Render its UI and respond to user interactions.

To seamlessly integrate and access this store within a React component, developers have two primary avenues: leveraging the `connect` function provided by the react-redux library or opting for the more modern `useSelector` hook.

The `connect` function serves as a bridge between React components and the Redux store, enabling components to access state and dispatch actions to update that state. It works by wrapping your component with a higher-order component (HOC) that injects the state and dispatch function as props.

Alternatively, the `useSelector` hook offers a more concise and functional approach to accessing Redux state within functional components. By hooking into the Redux store, `useSelector` allows you to select a piece of the state tree to be used by the component.

Both methods facilitate the unidirectional data Flow principle inherent in Redux, ensuring that components remain pure and focused on rendering UI based on the provided props and state.
