dragos busuioc
24,908 Pointsanother 2 things.In for loop instead making an asigment push every name in the student variable.When you declared student variable asign to it an empty array.See mdn push method documentation.The second thing in the if stament the variable report is nit declared in global scope.Is in the scope of getStudentReport function.declare report variable even in global scope.with diferent name preferable.good luck

71 PointsThankyou dragos,
Can you please tell me what does this code do:
report+= getStudentReport(students[student.indexOf(search)]);
.?
dragos busuioc
24,908 Points+= is the shorthand for report = report + getStudentReport(...);
Basically,asign to report the value returned from getStudentReport function.With += you dont overwrite the actual value.you just add it.But be carrefully.You make that asigned to a varible that dosnt exist in the global scope.

71 PointsI did declared it globally and I understand the += purpose. Please explain the part after report+= i.e. getStudentReport(students[student.indexOf(search)]);
dragos busuioc
24,908 Pointsyou asigned to report the value returned from getStudentReport().In that case the value returned is report(that report avaible just in function scope)
