Extended solution solved! If do you have any advice to improve the code please feel free to reply! Thx

This is my solution to the extended challenge, is working good but If do you know a more efficient way to solve it feel free too reply and explain why.. :)

var message = ''; var student; var search; var found = [];

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;

}

while ( true ) { search = prompt("Search student records: type a name [Jody] (or type 'quit' to end."); search = search.toLowerCase();

if ( search === 'quit' || search === null) {

break;

}

for ( var i = 0; i < students.length; i++ ) {

student = students[i];

if ( student.name.toLowerCase() === search ) {

  found.push( student );


}

}

if ( found.length > 0 ) {

for ( var i = 0; i < found.length; i++ ) {

  message += getStudentReport( found[i] );
  print( message );

}

} else {

alert("The student doesn't exist, press 'OK' and try again");

}

message = ""; found = [];

}
