What he wants to happen:
Click Energy, then click the lightning bolt.
My student is trying to use the input result “Lightning” to populate the strength, weakness, and fusion for the 3 text boxes below the box containing the word lightning.
He wants that to automatically populate when you click any of the images above the lightning box. He’s only working on lightning now and will duplicate the code once it works properly.
He has created functions, assigned variables, etc.
Any ideas on how he can do that?

In addition, Have your students look at the U5L10 Traversals Investigate, bubbles 5 & 6. These bubbles cover traversals using map, filter and reduce from a list.
He already has setText("elementNameEnergy", "Lightning"); so he does know where to update those additional text boxes.
He has a function called filter() to presumably find the values to put into those boxes. It will need to be called before filling in those boxes.
Unfortunately, he has this line of code if (element == (selectedElementP || selectedElementE)) { in the filter function. That doesn’t do what you think it does. Point to it and ask him to figure out what it really does do.
Other than that this is a good start and he just needs to keep going.
