Profile lookup Help!

Anyone able to help me understand why this code doesn’t work?

//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 x = 0; x < contacts.length; x++){
    if (contacts[x].firstName == name) {
        if (contacts[x].hasOwnProperty(prop)){
            return contacts[x][prop];
        }
        else {
            return "No such property";
        }
    }
}
    else {
        return "No such contact";
    }
// Only change code above this line
}

// Change these values to test your function
lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");

Take the “No such contact” out of the else and for-loop block
