I this quiz, I was certain the answer to the code completion for displaying a prop named time would be this.props.time (since Clock is a component Class). I thought I understood this, but the quiz tells me I'm incorrect. Can someone help me understand what I'm doing wrong for that answer?
Thanks! -Brian

you are absolutely right and this.props.time is correct.... BUT you have to wrap this variable with curly braces to get the output in your component return value. If not you only output "this.props.time" as a simple string.
So the correct answer is {this.props.time}
Hope this help for understanding. Happy coding!

You're not misunderstanding as this is exactly how you would access the props in a component class. Did you put the curly braces around your answer ({this.props.time})? I was able to submit the answer successfully.

Thank you!
