14,199 PointsWhy aren’t we using ${this.owner.id} instead of ${owner.id}?
I understand that when we pass “this” as an argument for the parameter “owner”, we are essentially saying…
let token = new Token(i, this)
class Token {
constructor(index, owner) {
this.owner = owner;
this.id = token-${i}-${this.id}
}
}
But I don’t understand why we aren’t putting ${this.owner.id}.
