Please tell me what is wrong in this code?

var arr=[{name:"Piyush",age:24},{name:"Ram",age:26},{name:"Shyam",age:28},{name:"Mohit",age:30},{name:"Rohit",age:32}]
var x;
var a;
function search(s){
    for(i=0; i<arr.length; i++){
        if(arr[i].name===s){
            for(var j in arr[i]){
                print(j+":"+arr[i][j]);
            }
        return;
    }
    print("name not found");
}
function print(m){
    x="<p>"+m+"</p>";
    document.write(x);
}
while(true){
    a=prompt("enter a name");
    if(a==="quit"){
        break;
    }
    search(a);
}
