Look up profile help needed

Curriculum Help

Continuing the discussion from What is the explanation for the For Loop in the profile Lookup exercise?:

The challenge says

If name does not correspond to any contacts then return "No such contact" .

Why isn’t this incorrect? It is from a solution I saw on the forum

if (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(firstName) === false){
      value = "No such contact";
    }

if I’m not mistaking what the above code does is: It checks if contacts has the property firstName NOT if the name corresponds to any of the contacts

Please I need clarification.

Hey there,

what does the [i] stand for?

My full code

function lookUpProfile(name, prop){

var value = ' '; 

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

    if(name !== contacts[i]['firstName']){

        value = 'No such contacts';

    }

    if(contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop) === false){

        value = 'No such property';

    }

    if((name === contacts[i]['firstName']) && (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop))){

        return contacts[i][prop];

}

}

return value;

}

You should link to the full code that you took it from for better understanding.

But anyways, I guess firstName is the contact name that’s passed to the function. In that case, the above code will fail, because none of the testcases have that “name” as a property name.
