JavaScript React Basics (2018) Understanding State Understanding State Review

Why isn't the solution {this.state.time}?

What am I missing? It's in a state component so shouldn't it be using that code?

Complete the code to display the value of a prop named time.

class Clock extends React.Component { render() { return ( <span className="time">{this.state.time}</span>
); } }

time is not part of the state since the question states that it is a prop.. State is different from props because it changes over time, while props does not. They are accessed differently.

Oh, that makes sense. Thank you
