Basic JavaScript: Profile Lookup problem with( && )

JavaScript
1

Why my && doesn’t work on my code, if you just put this code (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)) in a separate if the hole code will be working, so what the problem here ?
thx by the way.

function lookUpProfile(name, prop){

// Only change code below this line

for(var i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++) {

if(name == contacts[i].firstName && contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {

      return contacts[i][prop];

} else {

    return "No such property";

 }

}

    return "No such contact";

// Only change code above this line

}

what happens if name == contacts[i].firstName is false? the else statement execute. Meaning you are always returning No such property if the first contact is not the right one
