Hi,

This is the same thing i got stuck on.
In this case what happens is the function just checks for the first array object which is wrong.
We have to allow our function to check through all the elements.
You can check the conditions below:

function lookUpProfile(firstName, prop){
// Only change code below this line
var isFirstnameFound=false;
var isProperty=false;
for(var i=0;i<contacts.length;i++)
{
if(firstName == contacts[i].firstName && contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop))
{
return contacts[i][prop];

  }
if(firstName == contacts[i].firstName)
  {
     isFirstnameFound = true;
  }

if(contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop))
{
isProperty = true;
}

}
if(!isFirstnameFound)
return “No such contact”;
if(!isProperty)
return “No such property”;

}

3 
if(contacts[i].firstName !== firstName){
  // when the first contact is not equal the firstName.. 
  // you returned it immediately. while you should check the second contacts.
  return "No such contact"; // return too early here.
}

everytime a program run time sees the return statement. it will leave the function regardless the for loop has been completed or not.

consider the example below

function someFunc() {
 let x = 0
 return x
 x = 1
 return x
}

// if i call 
let n = someFunc()

// will n becomes 0 or 1 ?
