Profile lookup while loop

1

Can’t seem to make this one work with while loop

These criterias don’t work:

“Kristian”, “lastName” should return “Vos”
“Sherlock”, “likes” should return [“Intriguing Cases”, “Violin”]
“Harry”,“likes” should return an array

these do:
“Bob”, “number” should return “No such contact”
“Akira”, “address” should return “No such property”

function lookUpProfile(firstName, prop){
// Only change code below this line

 var i = 0;
 var target;
  
  while (i<contacts.length) {
    target = contacts[i];
    if (target.firstName === firstName) {
       if (target.hasOwnProperty(prop)==1){
         return target[prop];
       }else{
         return "No such property";
       }
    }else{
    return "No such contact";
    }
  i++;
     
  }
  
// Only change code above this line
}

any help is appreciated

First of all, why are you using a while loop here? It certainly can be used, but this is basically what a for loop is built for.

Regarding your error, make sure that you are returning “No such contact” in the right place.

Thanks RadDog25!

Just thought I’d want to try it with while.

Moved return "No such contact"; outside of the while loop.
Works now.

function lookUpProfile(firstName, prop){
// Only change code below this line
var i = 0;
 var target;
  
  while (i<contacts.length) {
    target = contacts[i];
    if (target.firstName == firstName) {
       if (target.hasOwnProperty(prop)==1){
         return target[prop];
       }else{
         return "No such property";
       }
    }else{
    
    }
  i++;
     
  }
  return "No such contact";
// Only change code above this line
}

// Change these values to test your function
lookUpProfile("Kristian", "lastName");
