Hello! I have this code that I wrote for the profile look up challenge in the basic javascript course. I am not sure why the code works when I place the “return “No such contact”” outside of the for loop, but not when I place it inside of it. Here is the code:
// 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) {
if (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
return contacts[i][prop];
}
return "No such property";
}
return "No such contact";
}
// Only change code above this line
}
lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");
