Need help with code!

Hi,

Your while loop is set to true and only breaks if search is null or 'quit'. Which means even if you enter a correct name the loop doesnt break and you come back to the beginning of loop without reaching your for loop. You need a way to escape that loop if your user enters a correct name. You can put your for loop inside your while loop and use a flag to either exit or repeat the loop.

var flag = true;

while(flag) {
  search = prompt('Search student records: type a name [Kebab] (or type "quit")');
  if (search === null || search.toLocaleLowerCase() === "quit") {
    flag = false;
  }

  for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i+=1) {
    student = students[i];
    if (student.name === search) {
          message = getStudentReport (student);
          print(message);
      flag = false;
    }
  }


}

Theres a flag variable that starts as true to get the loop going, Then you ask for the name, immediately after, you check if the name is in your list and if it is, it processes your report and prints it but notice that it also sets the flag to false which allows you to exit the loop. If the name is not in the list the flag will stay true which mean the loop will start over asking the user again for another name. And if you enter quit or null the flag will become false and the loop ends.

Hopes this helps!
