My code is working without any break statement for the problem of repeated student names

var message = ''; var student;

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

var student_name= prompt('who do you want to search for?');

for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1){ var student= students[i]; if(student_name==student.name){ message += '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>'; message += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>'; message += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>'; message += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>'; }

} /*for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) { student = students[i];

}*/ print(message);

I don't quite understand your issue, could you rephrase the question?

This code looks like it might work if it had some data in a "students" array.

I agree with Steven Parker. Your students array:

var student= students[i];

Doesn't appear to have any data. It has the value of [i], which in your loop continuously counts.

You have not defined a length, so it continues.
