code review

Hello,

I must say I had hard times with this task and i still dont fully understand what is going on, perhaps you could explain the mechanics of this behavior. Bassicaly this is my code:

'strict mode'

let students = [
  {name: 'Kon Don',
  track: 'Front End Web Development, Full Stack JavaScript, Beginning Python, Web Design',
  achievements: 6598,
  points: 777 },
  {name: 'Dzon Dzwon',
  track: 'Java, iOS, Beginning Python, Web Design',
  achievements: 52745,
  points: 888 },
  {name: 'Bruce Lee',
  track: 'Beginning C#, PHP, Beginning Python, Web Design',
  achievements: 1240,
  points: 999 },
  {name: 'Mistrz Karate',
  track: 'Beginning Android, Learn HTML/;-0p;, Beginning Python, Web Design',
  achievements: 2554,
  points: 344 },
  {name: 'Pika Czu',
  track: 'UX Design, Intermediate Java, Beginning Python, Web Design',
  achievements: 4578,
  points: 177 }
];

let studentsHTML;

function print(x) {
    document.write(x);
}

for (let prop in students) {
      let  studentsHTML = '<ul>';
      studentsHTML += '<li>'+'<h2> Name: '  + students[prop].name + '</h2></li>';
      studentsHTML += '<li>'+'Track: ' + students[prop].track + '</li>';
      studentsHTML += '<li>'+'Achievements: ' + students[prop].achievements + '</li>';
      studentsHTML += '<li>'+'Points: ' + students[prop].points + '</li>';
      studentsHTML +='</ul>';
      document.write(studentsHTML)
    }

but when I want to use the print function and I do it outside the loop it showes 'undefined'. and this particular declaration is getting kind of greyish

  let  studentsHTML = '<ul>';

I cannot say I feel ok about my performance. I was trying to use the for loop but I did not store it in the variable as Dave did

student = students[i];

I think I was dointg something like this

 studentsHTML += '<li>'+'<h2> Name: '  + students[i].name + '</h2></li>';

but all i got was one set of data, i mean one object.

thanks

I don't really understand what you are trying to say but from what I can see, You are declaring studentsHTML twice. Once is outside the function and once is inside the function. Try removing the outside function and I also don't know what you are trying to do with function print(x)??

To do something like this studentsHTML += '<li>'+'<h2> Name: ' + students[i].name + '</h2></li>'; Are you using for loop that is for( let I =0; I < students.length; I++){

let studentsHTML = '<ul>'; studentsHTML += '<li>'+'<h2> Name: ' + students[i].name + '</h2></li>'; studentsHTML += '<li>'+'Track: ' + students[i].track + '</li>'; studentsHTML += '<li>'+'Achievements: ' + students[i].achievements + '</li>'; studentsHTML += '<li>'+'Points: ' + students[i].points + '</li>'; studentsHTML +='</ul>'; document.write(studentsHTML)

}
