Basic JavaScript - Profile Lookup

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
I used this solution which was clear for me except for one detail. In case we have multiple times the same first name in the list, it will only display information of the first one. Based on the code, i don’t understand why the algorithm stopped there since we have not yet reached the end of the array. Could you explain it please ?

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: "Akira",
    lastName: "Vos",
    number: "unknown",
    likes: ["JavaScript", "Gaming", "Foxes"],
  },
];

let i=0;

function lookUpProfile(name, prop) {
  // Only change code below this line
for (let x = 0; x < contacts.length; x++) {
    if (contacts[x].firstName === name) {
      if (contacts[x].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
        return contacts[x][prop];
      } else {
        return "No such property";
      }
    }
  }
  return "No such contact";
}

console.log(lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes"));
