In the function below, update an isRunning state to true. (In React)

This is part of the State and Events Review Quiz. I do not understand how to go about this. The only way I have seen something similar is like "time: 0". Please point me in the right direction!

startTimer = () => { this.({ : }); }

Hi David, so the video related to this would be https://teamtreehouse.com/library/updating-state-2. In it Guil uses the setState method to update the current state of a property. Inside of the { and } you can use regular Object notation to set the property you want, in this case isRunning to the value you want: true
