Why my code isn't working

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
I’m stuck in this exercise, for returning the right value. Diferent from the answer, i did statements to return the cases where name and prop doesn’t exist first. But, in case they exist, my code isn’t returning the value of the property. Any help??

**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 (let i = 0; i<contacts.length;i++) {
    if (name !== contacts[i]["firstName"]) {
    return "No such contact";
    }
    else if (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop) === false) {
    return "No such property";
    }
else {
     // i tried both of this return statements
     return lookUpProfile(prop);
     return contact[i][prop];
}
}
  // Only change code above this line
}

lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");

      // ** This will cause infinite recursion
      // ** That's not good
      return lookUpProfile(prop);
      // ** I like this one much better
      return contact[i][prop];
    }
  }
