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

lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Why is this inside of the for loop? The very first time your code encounters a return, your code stops and no other contacts are checked.
