Can anyone tell me why this code fails the first three tests, namely:
“Kristian”, “lastName” should return “Vos”
“Sherlock”, “likes” should return [“Intriguing Cases”, “Violin”]
“Harry”,“likes” should return an array
It has something to do with the positioning of the line - else {return “No such contact”} -, because when I position this down a line outside of its current curly brackets, then it works, but I don’t see why this should be the case.
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){
// 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];
}
else {return "No such property"}
}
else {return "No such contact"}
}
}
// Only change code above this line
lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");
