Tell us what’s happening:
Hi All,
Can someone explain why my code is not working? It fails on the first 3 tests but I am unsure why but if I move the (return No such contact) outside of the for loop it works? What am I missing or not understanding - I know I can just pass this as I could change the code to pass but I need to understand the code for my sanity?
“Kristian”, “lastName” should return “Vos”
“Sherlock”, “likes” should return [“Intriguing Cases”, “Violin”]
“Harry”,“likes” should return an array
“Bob”, “number” should return “No such contact”
“Bob”, “potato” should return “No such contact”#“Akira”, “address” should return “No such property”
Thanks,
Wayne
