Tell us what’s happening:
I believe my if else
statements are correct to meet the conditions of the challenge but the loop won’t work. And I don’t think I have to use nested loops because if I do this:
for (var i=0; i < contacts.length; i++) { console.log(contacts[i].firstName); }
This will print the first name of each object, which I am trying to use as my condition.
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 i=0; i < contacts.length; i++) {
if(contacts[i].firstName === name && contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
return contacts[i][prop];
} else if (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(name)) {
return "No such contact";
} else {
return "No such property";
}
}
// Only change code above this line
};
// Change these values to test your function
lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");
