Please Help me,

The condition that prints to to the page telling the user that that the player type is available is not working. Please review my code below

var fullSquad = [ "Pogba", "Lukaku", "Sanchez", "Martial" , "Matic" ];

var search;

while(true) { search = prompt("Search for your favorite Manchester united player. Type List to see the list of all the players available or type quit to exit "); search = search.toLowerCase();
if (search === "quit" ) { break;

} else if (search ==="list") { alert(fullSquad.join(",")); } else { if (fullSquad.indexOf(search) > -1) { document.write("yes" + search + "is available for selection"); 

}else {

alert( search + " is not on the team"); }
}

}

Hey, Uche! It looks like you had a few syntax errors. I've played with your code a bit and come up with this:

Let me know if any of it doesn't make sense! It's not necessarily the best solution, but it works OK.
