];


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

for(var i=0; i< contacts.length; i++) {
    switch()
  if(contacts[i].firstName === name && contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
      return contacts[i][prop];
  } 
  else if(contacts[i].firstName === name && contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)== false)
   {
      return "No such property";
    }
     return "No such contact";
  }
 

// Only change code above this line
}

// Change these values to test your function
lookUpProfile("Kristian", "lastName");

why do you have switch() at the start of the for loop?

Also, looks like you’re returning before the function has the chance to look through all the contacts (as in, if contacts[0] doesn’t match what you’re passing in, it returns “No such contact”, ending the for loop and exiting the function)
