"Too many re-renders. React limits the number of renders to prevent an infinite loop" error when useState hook is used

import {useState} from 'react';

const Counter = () =>{

    let [counter,setCounter] = useState(0);

    return(
       <div className='counter-box'>
            <span>{counter}</span>
            <button onClick={setCounter(counter++)}></button>
       </div>
    )
}
export default Counter;

I’m using functional component here. Can someone tell me what’s wrong with my code?

>Solution :

Yes.
Here the onClick function is getting executed when it’s rendered instead of user click event.

Solution 1:

import {useState} from 'react';

const Counter = () =>{

    let [counter,setCounter] = useState(0);

    return(
       <div className='counter-box'>
            <span>{counter}</span>
            <button onClick={e => setCounter(counter+1)}></button>
       </div>
    )
}
export default Counter;

Instead of executing the code, we pass a function reference(anonymous arrow function) to the onClick event.
