Hey you need to take a look at your else if statements. You are not allowing the function to fully traverse contacts because if the first contact is not the one you’re searching for the following else if statement has a return statement which exits the loop before the search can be completed. I would recommend not using else if statements at all for this solution and instead stick to only if and else.

Let me know if you need any further help.
