I couldn't believe it when this finally worked. Here's my solution, let me know if anyone has improvements. I still don't 100% understand that print(message) function.
var students = [ { Name: 'Caleb', Track: 'Front-end Development', Achievements: 50, Points: 1000, },
{ Name: 'Cristof', Track: 'FullStack JavaScript', Achievements: 49, Points: 999 },
{ Name: 'Yanet', Track: 'iOs Development', Achievements: 30, Points: 2000 },
{ Name: 'Boberton', Track: 'Front-end Development', Achievements: 78, Points: 3000 },
{ Name: 'Jimbo', Track: 'iOS Development', Achievements: 62, Points: 250 }, ];
function print(message) { var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output'); outputDiv.innerHTML=message; }
var html; for (var i=0; i < students.length; i+=1) { html += '<p>Student Name: ' + students[i].Name + '</p>'; html += '<p>Track: ' + students[i].Track + '</p>'; html += '<p>Achievements: ' + students[i].Achievements + '</p>'; html += '<p>Points: ' + students[i].Points + '</p>'; html += '<br>'+'</br>'; }
print(html);

var printedRecords = "";
var student = [
{name: 'Josh', track: 'Javascript', achievements: 10, points: 4560},
{name: 'Jon', track: 'iOS', achievements: 10, points: 4560},
{name: 'Sam', track: 'Java', achievements: 10, points: 4560},
{name: 'Avery', track: 'PHP', achievements: 10, points: 4560},
{name: 'Chelsea', track: 'Web Design', achievements: 10, points: 4560}
];
for ( i = 0; i < student.length; i++ ) {
printedRecords += '<p>Name: ' + student[i].name + '<br>';
printedRecords += 'Track: ' + student[i].track + '<br>';
printedRecords += 'Achievements: ' + parseInt(student[i].achievements) + '<br>';
printedRecords += 'Points: ' + parseInt(student[i].points) + '</p>';
}
document.write(printedRecords);

var title =['Name','Track','Achievements','Points']; var titlecount ;
for ( i = 0; i < student.length; i++ ) { titlecount = 0; for (var identifier in student){
printedRecords += '<p> ' +title[titlecount]+':'+ student[i][identifier] + '</p>'; titlecount+=1; } } } document.write(printedRecords);

2,608 PointsHere is my code, I know it's better to have it in a function, but this was a first try and it kind of awesomely worked :D
var html = document.getElementById('output');
for(var i = 0; i<students.length; i++){ for(var student in students[i]){ html.innerHTML += '<p>' + student + ': ' + students[i][student] + '</p>'; } }
The print message function is really cool actually, first with var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output') it lets you select an element from the DOM and then with outputDiv.innerHTML=message; it lets you modify it's content/structure/HTML by passing a parameter message which doesn't always have to be a structure with <p> or a <ul>, but anything you want.
I think you can improve your code definitely, so try this instead of the for you use: for(var i = 0; i<students.length; i++){ for(var student in students[i]){ html += '<p>' + student + ': ' + students[i][student] + '</p>'; } } P.S. You don't need commas on last array elements, last objects etc.
