Help with my Profile Lookup Challenge code

JavaScript

Someone tell what’s wrong with this code and a fix to it? Thanks!

function lookUpProfile(name, prop){
// Only change code below this line
    for(var 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(prop !== contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
            return "No such property";
        }   
    }
}

Your function will stop executing immediately as soon as it encounters a return statement

3

Even if the “if” statement isn’t true???

4

One of those if statements will be true on the first loop iteration. And then your function will stop instead of continuing the loop.

5

That’s why the first array object is true but the other arguments are “No such contact”.

How can I fix this? I feel like I was on the right track but didn’t know/forget about the return statement stopping the function.

6

You want to say that you have no matching contact only after checking every contact. So where should that return statement be in your code?
