error

var message = ''; var student; var x;

function print(message) { var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output'); outputDiv.innerHTML = message; }

function getrecord(student){ var record = '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>'; record += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>'; record += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>'; record += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>'; return record;

} while(true) { var x = prompt('Type the name of whose information you want'); if (x.toLowerCase() === quit) { break; } for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) { student = students[i]; if(student.name === x) { message = getrecord(student); print(message); } } }

Can you tell me where exactly is the error coming??

Please take a snapshot of your workspace. If this is all your code, var student does not have any of those properties called in your code. You are also declaring var x two times (at the beginning and inside while loop).

In your first if statement (x.toLowerCase() === quit), quit should be quoted as it is not a variable but a string.

Also students is not defined.
