 ## `shouldUpdate` Lifecycle Method
 When a Roact Component's state or props change, it will call the Component's `shouldUpdate` method to determine whether or not to re-render it. The default implementation will always return true.

 ```lua
 function Component:shouldUpdate(newProps, newState)
 	return true
 end
 ```
 
-If you have a more complex component that only needs to re-render in certain situations, you can either use `PureComponent` (discussed below) or implement your own `shouldUpdate` and return `false` in any case where an update is not required.

 One common implementation of `shouldUpdate` is to do a shallow comparison between current and previous props and state. `Roact` provides an extension of `Roact.Component` called `Roact.PureComponent` that uses this implementation.

 In the above example, adding a new item to the `items` prop of the `Inventory` would cause all of the child `Item` elements to re-render, even if they haven't changed at all. This means if you add an item to an `Inventory` that already has 5 items, the result will be 6 renders of the `Item` component.
 
 Lets change `Item` to a `PureComponent`:

 	Switching to static keys might seem insignificant for *this* example, but if our `Item` component becomes more complicated and our inventory gets bigger, it can make a significant difference!
