:point_right: There's no prompt call in student_report.js.

You'll need to add a call to that function to see the dialog box.

Also, I noticed your for loop (not a do...while loop) replaces the value in message each pass, so when you get down to the print, only the name of the very last student ("Trish") will be shown. Note that print also replaces the value of the output element, so even if you call it inside the loop, you'll still only see the last student.
