var userInput; var flag = false;
function print(message) { var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output'); outputDiv.innerHTML = message; }
do { userInput = prompt('Enter the name of the student you are interested in. (To close this app enter \'quit\')');
if (userInput === null || userInput.toLowerCase() === 'quit') { flag = true; console.log('User typed quit'); } else { students.forEach((e)=>{ if(e.name.toLowerCase() === userInput.toLowerCase()){ print(displayStudentInfo(e)); } }); }
} while (!flag)
function displayStudentInfo (obj) {
var list;
var listItem ='';
for (var prop in obj) {
listItem += <li>${prop}: ${obj[prop]};
}
list = <ol>${listItem}</ol>;
return list;
}
