Here is my solution to the challenge:

var message = ''; var student; var response; var studentList = [];

function print(message) { var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output'); outputDiv.innerHTML = message; }

function studentRecords(arr){ var report = ''; for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){ var ind = arr[i]; console.log(ind); console.log(students[ind].name); report += '<h2>Student: ' + students[ind].name + '</h2>'; console.log(students[ind].track); report += '<p>Track: ' + students[ind].track + '</p>'; console.log(students[ind].points); report += '<p>Points: ' + students[ind].points + '</p>'; console.log(students[ind].achievements); report += '<p>Achievements: ' + students[ind].achievements + '</p>'; } console.log(report); return report; }

while(true){ response = prompt('Get details of a student by typing their name ex: [Audrey], enter q to quit');

if(response === null || response.toLowerCase() === 'q'){
    break;
}

//If student exists, return details
//If multiple return multiple
//If not, say does not exist.

response = response.toLowerCase();
for (var ind = 0; ind < students.length; ind += 1) {
    student = students[ind];
    if(response === student.name.toLowerCase()){
        studentList.push(ind);
    }
}

if(studentList.length !== 0){
    console.log(studentList);
    message = studentRecords(studentList);

    console.log(message);
    print(message);
}
else if (response.length > 0){
    message = '<p>' + response + ' not in database.</p>';
    console.log(message);
    print(message);
}

//Empty string and message for next iteration
studentList = [];
message = '';

}
