```auto

//ARRAY TO STORE NAMES
var names = ["Alice", "Susan", "Jake", "Bill"];
//FOR LOOP TO GET KEYS OF NAMES ARRAY.
for (var i = 0; i<names.length; i++) {
	allNames = names;
	if (names* == "Bill") {
		names_txt.text = "Hello "+names*;
	} else {
		names_txt.text += names*+"
";
	}
}

```

In the above exercise I’m attempting if the name==“Bill” output hello + bill and the remaining names to the textfield  
ie.  
Alice  
Susan  
Jake  
Hello Bill  
But I’m only getting “Hello Bill” I also want the same results with any element in the array.

ie  
alice  
Hello Susan  
Jake  
Bill

What have I goofed?
