6,912 PointsMy solution to the Student Record challenge. Feedback?
var message = '';
var student;
var search;
var found;
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>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>';
report += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
return report;
}
while (true) {
found = false;
message = '';
search = prompt( 'Search student records: type a name [Jody] (or type "quit" to end)');
if ( search === null || search.toLowerCase() === 'quit') {
break;
}
for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
student = students[i];
if ( student.name.toLowerCase() === search.toLowerCase() ) {
message += getStudentReport( student );
found = true;
}
}
print(message);
if (found === false ) {
print('Student not found.');
}
}

if (message === '')
