var student;
var message;
function print(message){
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
function getStudentReport(student){
var report ='<h2>Student: '+student.name + '</h2>';
report += '<p>Track: ' +student.track + '</p>';
report += '<p>Achievements: '+student.points +'</p>';
report += '<p>Points: '+student.achievements + '</p>';
return report;
}
while(true){
search = prompt("Enter the name of the student you are looking for:")
if (search === null || search.toLowerCase() === 'quit'){
break;
}
for(var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1){
student = students[i];
if (student.name === search) {
message = getStudentReport( student );
print(message);
}
}
}
