Return statements immediately stop the function call

Hello, I moved the return down between the last two brackets and it passed.

The way you have formatted the code (or not formatted it) kind of makes it look like the return is outside the loop body (unless you look more carefully).

It is much easier to see that it is inside the loop if you format the code properly.

function lookUpProfile(name, prop) {
  for (var i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++) {
    if (contacts[i]["firstName"] === name) {
      if (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
        return contacts[i][prop];
      } else {
        return "No such property";
      }
    }
    return "No such contact";
  }
}
