This is how i did it!, i did not use anything outside of the video except for 1 new variable (and a couple of copy pastes) for the list command!
var message = '';
var student;
var search;
var stunm = [];
function print(message) {
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
function getStudentReport (student){
var report = '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>';
report += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>';
report += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>';
report += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
return report
}
for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
student = students[i];
stunm.push(student.name);
}
while (true) {
search = prompt('search student records: type a name [Jody] (type "quit" to end or "list" to see a list of students )');
if (search === null || search.toLowerCase() === 'quit') {
break;
}
for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
student = students[i];
if (student.name === search) {
message += getStudentReport( student );
print(message);
}
}
if (search.toLowerCase() === 'list') {
alert(stunm.join(', '))
}else if (stunm.indexOf(search) < 0){
alert('there is no student with that name');
}
}
