Tell us what’s happening:
In this correct solution, I’m wondering why the following code:
return “No such contact”
would be OUTSIDE OF THE FOR LOOP?
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 x = 0; x < contacts.length; x++){
if (contacts[x]["firstName"] === name) {
if (contacts[x].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
return contacts[x][prop];
} else {
return "No such property";
}
}
}
return "No such contact";
// Only change code above this line
}
// Change these values to test your function
lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");
