    <p>The goal is unclear on CodeAcademy. <a href="http://bit.ly/167N8bX" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/167N8bX</a> I think am supposed to run through a long string, and push the characters of my name out of the string into an array. </p> <p>Here's how it's stated: </p> <blockquote> <p>"it will check the text for the first letter of your name, then push (add) the number of characters equal to your name's length to an array. By inspecting the array, you'll be able to see if your name was mentioned!"</p> </blockquote> <p>*UPDATED. Now that I see the instructor's output, it doesn't actually check to see if your name is mentioned at all. Confusing instructions for a novice, like me.</p> <p>I am on step 5 of 7: Link: <a href="http://bit.ly/167N8bX" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/167N8bX</a></p> <pre><code>var text = "Lorem ipsum dolor nayr sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor yan ut Ryan labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad ry minim veniam, quis nostrud ryan exercitation ullamco ryan laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea ry commodo rya consequat. END"; var myName = "Ryan"; var hits = []; for(var i = 0; i &lt; text.length; i++) { // Loop thru "text" string // check each char one-by-one // if it finds uppercase "R" if(text[i] == "r".toUpperCase()){ // push the next 3 chars into hits[] array... // by looping on myName.length // end push() when myName.length loops ends for(var j = 0; j &lt; myName.length; j++){ hits.push(text[i]); console.log(hits); } } } </code></pre> <p>*UPDATED How do you keep the output from occurring each loop, and store each push in the array, until after it finishes all the looping? </p> <p>My incorrect output from the above code:</p> <pre><code>[ 'R' ] [ 'R', 'y' ] [ 'R', 'y', 'a' ] [ 'R', 'y', 'a', 'n' ] </code></pre>

    1. CODoes this mean copy all the `R`, `y`, `a` and `n` characters (case-sensitive?) into the `hits` array? Should they remain in the string itself, or be removed?

    2. COI suspect you're overcomplicating the exercise. I think that it just wants you to look for occurrences of any of the characters in your name, and keep track of them in an expanding string.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
