students.lenght = undefined

Hello

this does not work:

for (let i = 0; i < students.lenght; i++) {
    let stuObj = students[i];
    let datas = `<h1>${stuObj.name}</h1>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.track}</p>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.achievements}</p>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.points}</p>`
    print(datas)
    }

function print(arg) {
    document.write(`<div> ${arg} </div>`)
}

but this does

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    let stuObj = students[i];
    let datas = `<h1>${stuObj.name}</h1>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.track}</p>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.achievements}</p>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.points}</p>`
    print(datas)
    }

function print(arg) {
    document.write(`<div> ${arg} </div>`)
}

why does students.lenght return undefined?

let students = [
    {   
        name: "Kevin",
        track: "JavaScript",
        achievements: "123",
        points: 3500,
    },
    {   
        name: "John",
        track: "LUA",
        achievements: "312",
        points: 2121
    }]

you are using students.lenght you should use students.length

for (let i = 0; i < students.length; i++) {
    let stuObj = students[i];
    let datas = `<h1>${stuObj.name}</h1>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.track}</p>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.achievements}</p>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.points}</p>`
    print(datas)
    }

function print(arg) {
    document.write(`<div> ${arg} </div>`)
}

undefined

for (let i = 0; i < students.lenght; i++) {
    let stuObj = students[i];
    let datas = `<h1>${stuObj.name}</h1>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.track}</p>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.achievements}</p>`
    datas += `<p>${stuObj.points}</p>`
    print(datas)
    }

function print(arg) {
    document.write(`<div> ${arg} </div>`)
}
