what's wrong with my code so far? The 'list' doesn't appear.

var instock = [ 'apples', 'milk', 'cookies', 'cheese', 'bread', 'lettuce', 'carrot', 'broccoli', 'pizza', 'potato', 'galletas', 'onions', 'cucumber']; var search;

function print(message) { document.write( '<p>' + message + '</p>'); }

while (true) { search = prompt("Search for a product in our store. Type 'list' to show all of the products and 'quit' to exist"); if ( search === 'quit') { break; } else if (search === 'list') { print( inStock.join(', ') ); } }

document.write( '<p>' +"We have "+ inStock.join(', ') + '</p>'); }

You can loop through each item using a forloop within this while loop.

JavaScript is a case-sensitive language, and your array is named "instock" (with lower-case "s") but referenced as "inStock" (with capital "S").

It's important that they match, and the "best practice" naming convention would be to use the capital "S" version.
