Profile look up issue

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
Please I cannot understand why the for loop doesn’t iterate beyond the first object.

  **Your code so far**

// Setup
var contacts = [
  {
      "firstName": "Akira",
      "lastName": "Laine",
      "number": "0543236543",
      "likes": ["Pizza", "Coding", "Brownie Points"]
  },
  {
      "firstName": "Harry",
      "lastName": "Potter",
      "number": "0994372684",
      "likes": ["Hogwarts", "Magic", "Hagrid"]
  },
  {
      "firstName": "Sherlock",
      "lastName": "Holmes",
      "number": "0487345643",
      "likes": ["Intriguing Cases", "Violin"]
  },
  {
      "firstName": "Kristian",
      "lastName": "Vos",
      "number": "unknown",
      "likes": ["JavaScript", "Gaming", "Foxes"]
  }
];


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

lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");

hmm, that’s true. so what do you suggest I do ?

think of what you can and can’t know when you have just seen the first element in the array, and consider what is in the wrong place

Specifically, when can you say this, logically. If you were doing this task by hand, when can you say this?
