In the context of interface development, especially in modern frameworks like Jetpack Compose for Android, Recomposition refers to the process of rebuilding (re-rendering) UI components when their state or data changes.
When the data that the component's display depends on changes, the system triggers recomposition — recalculates and updates only those parts of the interface that depend on the changed data. This allows for efficient UI updates without a full re-render of the entire screen.
Example: if you have a text that depends on a variable count, and count changes, only the text component using count will be recreated, while the rest of the interface remains unchanged.
