More loop lab focus today and it certainly not getting any easier, is frustrating as in the end it is ending up a small amount of code but I know that with each iteration I am learning, its just trying to embed that learning as I go.
For example this is the last Lab - to build a profile lookup from a JSON object. I tried using a for in loop first of all without realising that is more for objects rather than an array, so tried it with a for or loop and couldnt quite get that to how I wanted it either before settling with a while loop. I then had an issue with getting the contracts[i][prop] to return as I had it as contracts[i].prop so need some further reading on that as when running my code through chatGPT it was telling me it was trying to literally read the property “prop” which doesnt exist.
function lookUpProfile(name, prop) {
let i = 0;
//loops through the contacts array
while (i < contacts.length) {
//If the name given matches the firstName of the contact being checked and that contact has the property being searched for then return the value of that property
if (name === contacts[i].firstName && contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
return contacts[i][prop];
} else if (name === contacts[i].firstName) {
return "No such property";
}
i++;
}
return "No such contact";
}
