  for (let i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++) {

    if (contacts[i].firstName === name) {

      if (prop in contacts[i]) {

        return contacts[i][prop];

      } else {

        return "No such property";

      }

    }

  }

  return "No such contact";

}

// Only change code above this line

}

lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");


// Setup
var contacts = [
  {
      "firstName": "Akira",
      "lastName": "Laine",
      "number": "0543236543",
      "likes": ["Pizza", "Coding", "Brownie Points"]
  },
  {
