Hi! I did the challenge using a slightly different structure but I guess it should work...but after I enter the student name in the prompt, nothing is displayed in the page.
while(true) {
var input = prompt('Selecione nome para pesquisar');
if(input.toLowerCase() === 'quit' || input === null) {
break;
} else {
for (var i = 0; i < student.length; i += 1) {
studentName = student[i].name;
if(studentName === input) {
message += '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>';
message += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>';
message += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>';
message += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
print(message);
}
}
}
}

4,989 PointsWhen you loop through students array in your for loop you need to grab the student object, not just student's name
studentName = student[i].name; - this line might cause the issue
We have student variable initialised at the top and we need to assign student object to this variable
student = students[i];
