What is the answer to this question?
class Clock extends React.Component { render() { return ( <span className="stats"> _____ </span> ); } }
I've tried {props.time}, {this.state.time}, among other crazy answers. All I get is "Bummer!"
Please help.

The "this" in this case refers to the class of Clock.

16,582 PointsThis is kind of a lame question, considering the final code doesn't use this.props anywhere. Is this something that happened at the beginning of the module, and then was overwritten because you probably won't ever do this?

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 18,744 PointsI don't understand how props is available, seeing as Clock is a class component. Props is not passed in anywhere. Am I missing something here? I thought props was only available when its passed in through a "function" component.. e.g const Clock = (props) => {}
