HI @Patrick-starx !

Welcome to the forum!

Your main issue is that your code is only checking the first object in that array and then immediately returning a value which exits the function. Your code never checks the other contacts in the array.

You will need to modify your first condition.
First check if name is an actual contact’s firstName. Then inside that condition check if the given property (prop ) is a property of that contact.

If true, return the “value” of that property. If false, return No such property.

Lastly, you should only return No such contact when you have gone through the entire array and the contact is not there.

Hope that helps!
