Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 3,307 PointsUnable to loop throught an array of objects
Greetings fellows,
I am dealing with an issue today. My problem is that i created the script to loop throught that particular array but the problem is tha it only gives back the last element of the array.Maybe soone can spot that 'tiny' mistake. Thanks
CODE BELOW:
var students = [
{
name : "John" ,
track : "Web development",
achievments : 12,
points : 251
},
{
name : "Mary" ,
track : "IOs development",
achievments : 55,
points : 352
},
{
name : "Euan" ,
track : "Anroid development",
achievments : 32,
points : 361
},
{
name : "George" ,
track : "Database development",
achievments : 65,
points : 870
},
{
name : "Ricky" ,
track : "Marketing development",
achievments : 33,
points : 3315
}
];
for(var info in students){ var x = students[info]; console.log( x.name + " " + x.track + " " + x.achievments + " " + x.points); showResult(x.name , x.track , x.achievments , x.points); }
function showResult(n , t , a , p){ var showToDoc = document.getElementById("output"); showToDoc.innerHTML = '<ol><li>' + "I am " + n + " and i follow the track of " + t + ". Currently i have " + a + " achievments with the amount of " + p + " points." + '</li></ol>'; }

19,323 PointsHiya there! Your "students" variable is an array of objects. When we loop through an object in JS, logging out the alias variable gives us "properties/keys" right? But in this case you dont have properties , you have objects. So in order to access 'em properties , you're gonna have to loop it twice. Both should nested. And first loop is going to be a "for" loop for an array and second loop is going to be a "for-in" loop for an object , right? You're gonna have to adjust some changes in your code but im pretty sure it'll work. Good luck! (:
