Hi,

please comment and advise.

Your code so far

// 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]["first Name"] === name){
    return (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop))
    {
    return contacts[i][prop];
    }
    else 
    {
      return "No such property";
    }
  }
}
  // Only change code above this line

return 'No such contact';
}
console.log(lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes"));

I think the problem is related to this code
if (contacts[i]["first Name"] === name)

I believe that it should be if (contacts[i]['firstName'] === name)

hello and welcome back to fcc forum

@Nashie

for (var i=0;i < contacts.length;i++){
  if (contacts[i]["first Name"] === name){
    return (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop))
    {
    return contacts[i][prop];
    }
    else 
    {
      return "No such property";
    }
  }
}

• you have two returns in your “if” block
• if block should use “firstName”
• in your “if” block see what you are returning…

lets read from instructions

If both are true, then return the “value” of that property

@Nashie

return (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop))

• do you mean “if” instead of “return”

address those changes and it should be alright, happy learning
