Differences between @State, @Binding, @ObservedObject, and @EnvironmentObject

Tests SwiftUI state ownership and propagation. @State owns local value types; @Binding borrows for two-way edits; @ObservedObject accepts an external ObservableObject; @EnvironmentObject reads one from the environment.
Tests whether you understand SwiftUI's state ownership graph and how data propagates across views. A strong answer maps each wrapper to its ownership model: @State stores local value-type state privately within a view; @Binding creates a two-way connection to state owned by an ancestor without taking ownership; @ObservedObject holds a reference to an external ObservableObject that the view does not own; @EnvironmentObject retrieves a shared ObservableObject injected via the environment.
