Describe your issue in detail here.
Hi,
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong here?
Your code so far
for(var i=0; i<contacts.length; i++);
if(contacts[i].firstName === firstName){
if(contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)){
return contacts[i][prop];
}else{
return “No such property”;
}
}else{
return “No such contact”;
}
// Only change code above this line
}

// Setup
const contacts = [
  {
    firstName: "Akira",
    lastName: "Laine",
    number: "0543236543",
    likes: ["Pizza", "Coding", "Brownie Points"],
  },
  {
    firstName: "Harry",
    lastName: "Potter",
    number: "0994372684",
    likes: ["Hogwarts", "Magic", "Hagrid"],
  },
  {
    firstName: "Sherlock",
    lastName: "Holmes",
    number: "0487345643",
    likes: ["Intriguing Cases", "Violin"],
  },
  {
    firstName: "Kristian",
    lastName: "Vos",
    number: "unknown",
    likes: ["JavaScript", "Gaming", "Foxes"],
  },
];

function lookUpProfile(name, prop) {
  // Only change code below this line

for(var i=0; i<contacts.length; i++);
if(contacts[i].firstName === firstName){
  if(contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)){
    return contacts[i][prop];
  }else{
    return "No such property";
  }
}else{
return "No such contact";
}
  // Only change code above this line
}

lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");

I don’t see you using name inside the function

function lookUpProfile(name, prop) {

Secondarily, every branch inside the for loop returns, so the code will never look beyond the first entry in the array.
