Basic JS - Profile Lookup

JavaScript
1

Hi there,

I’m stuck at the Profile Lookup challenge. My code passes a few tests but no all of them. It seems that my code stops running at the first iteration of the for loop. What am I doing wrong here?

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

lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");

The return keyword immediately exits the function, even inside of a for loop. Think about the logic, can you say there is “No such contact” before checking every member of the list?
