How do i loop through this array and check if the user input exists in the array. If the user writes 'fanta' in the input field, i want to print 'fanta' and '27'"

   const prisArr = [
        { vare: 'pepsi', pris: 30 },
        { vare: 'fanta', pris: 27 },
        { vare: 'escada', pris: 108 },
        { vare: 'dahls', pris: 69 },
        { vare: 'karsk', pris: 200 },
      ];
function vareSok() {
        for (let i = 0; i < prisArr.length; i++) {
          if (inpVare == prisArr[i]['vare']);
          document.getElementById(
            'resultat'
          ).innerHTML = `Varen med navn ${inpVare} koster ${pris} kroner!`;
        }

    }
}
}
vareSok();

I think you're using the wrong syntax for getting the data. The if statement should be dot notation as you are referencing a key in an object. i is iterating over each object in the array. Then just change pris to prisArr[i].pris and it should work :)

I rewrote your code. If user type "fanta" and click on button, the result is going to be "Varen med navn fanta koster 27 kroner!"

const prisArr = [
    { vare: 'pepsi', pris: 30 },
    { vare: 'fanta', pris: 27 },
    { vare: 'escada', pris: 108 },
    { vare: 'dahls', pris: 69 },
    { vare: 'karsk', pris: 200 },
];
function vareSok() {
    let userInput = document.getElementById('sok').value
    for (let i = 0; i < prisArr.length; i++) {
        if (prisArr[i].vare === userInput) {
            document.getElementById(
                'resultat'
            ).innerHTML = `Varen med navn ${userInput} koster ${prisArr[i].pris} kroner!`;
        }
    }
}
