];


function lookUpProfile(firstName, prop){
// Only change code below this line
  for(i=0;i<contacts.length;i++)
  {
    if(contacts[i].firstName==firstName)
    {
      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
}

// Change these values to test your function
lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");

Your else returns, think about how that affects the flow of logic when you return in the middle of your for loop. The problematic one is return “No such contact”;
