Tell us what’s happening:
Hello. Please tell me what’s the issue with this code and why isn’t it working. I know that the loop is breaking when it does not find the contact at i=0 but I’m not able to figure out how to fix it without following the solution.

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

let test=lookUpProfile("Sherlock", "likes");
console.log(test)

This immediately stops your function.

I’d double check the order of your logic.
