hey all, I feel like I’m close with my code but struggling to find out where I’m going wrong. Input greatly appreciated!

  **Your code so far**


// 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: "Kristian",
  lastName: "Vos",
  number: "unknown",
  likes: ["JavaScript", "Gaming", "Foxes"],
},
];

function lookUpProfile(name, prop) {
// Only change code below this line
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"; 

// Only change code above this line
}

lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");
