Tell us what’s happening:
I’m trying to solve the Basic JavaScript: Profile Lookup, and i’m quiet annoyed because I can not.
I do not want the answer but just have an answer to the question below, i have the feeling i’m missing something.
How come my function is not working well ? While contacts[i].firstName is equal to name it always return “ok” as if it was not equal…
Could you please help me ?
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){
// Only change code below this line
for(var i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++){
if(contacts[i].firstName == name){
return contacts[i];
}
else){
return "ok";
}
};
// Only change code above this line
};
// Change these values to test your function
lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");
