Profile Lookup - Just one main difference to my solution, but not working

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello all,

I managed to somewhat piece the code together similarly to the solution, except for a slight difference which won’t work. I have the

 else {
  return "No such contact";
}

inside of the for loop rather than outside (solution is outside). I’m having a hard time understanding why mine would not work. Can someone shed light on this?

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

// Change these values to test your function
var k = lookUpProfile("Kristian", "lastName");
console.log(k);

let’s say that the function call is lookUpProfile("Kristian", "likes")
when i is 0, contacts[i].firstName is Akira, and name is Kristian

if (contacts[i].firstName === name) {
   ...
} else {
   return "No such contact"
}

Here, "Akira" === "Kristian" is false, the else statement is executed, the function returns the string and stops there
the other items in the array are not checked

you’re right, thanks!
