+### Carousel
+
+Renders a carousel component.
+
+The `active` property on the component state is set to `0`th index as default.
+
+Use an object, `style`, to hold the styles for the individual components.
+
+Create a method, `setActiveItem`, which uses `this.setState` to change the state's `active` property to the index of the next item.
+Create another method `changeItem`, which is called by `setActiveItem` after updating the state each time and also when the component
+first renders (on `ComponentDidMount`).
+  
+In the `render()` method, destructure `state`, `style` and `props`, compute if visibility style should be set to `visible` or not for each carousel
+item while mapping over and apply the combined style to the carousel item component accordingly.
+  
+Render the carousel items using [React.cloneElement](https://reactjs.org/docs/react-api.html#cloneelement) and pass down rest
+props along with the computed styles.
