getting a syntax error on line 3 of unexpected token '<'. I swear it looks the same as the video and I even restarted the project. If anyone can see the problem it would be much appreciated

Python Development Techdegree Student 11,647 PointsThat didn't seem to work. I'm copying the code from the Use a Component with JSX video at 00:37. Could it possibly be with my index.html and the React CDM's being older and needing updates?

function Header () {
return (
`<header>
<h1>Scoreboard</h1>
<span>Players: 1</span>
</header>`
);
}

function Header() {
return (
<header>
<h1>Scoreboard</h1>
<span className="stats">Players: 1</span>
</header>
);
}
ReactDOM.render(
<Header />,
document.getElementById('root')
);

Uninstalling JShint seems to help.
