Day 173: FCC, More Pomodoro Clock!

All right, yesterday was fantastic, I made solid progress on the Pomodoro Project, and today I'm going to delve deep into the JavaScript.  I started the day off by doing a problem that was added to the javascript basics course.  Here's the problem:

Here's the sample inputs:

And here's my solution, with some notes that include some of the code I discarded:

//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": ["Intruiging Cases", "Violin"]
    },
    {
        "firstName": "Kristian",
        "lastName": "Vos",
        "number": "unknown",
        "likes": ["Javascript", "Gaming", "Foxes"]
    },
];


function lookUp(firstName, prop){
// Only change code below this line
  for (i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++) {
    if (contacts[i].firstName === firstName) {      
       var gotProp = prop in contacts[i];
       if (gotProp === true) {    
           return contacts[i][prop];    
       }
       if (gotProp === false) {
           return "No such property";
       }
    }    
  }
  return "No such contact";
}
    /*else {
      return "No such contact";
    }*/
  
//return contacts[0].likes[0];
// contacts[i][prop] will retrieve the value of the "likes" key; 
  /*if (gotProp === false) {
           return "No such contact";       
       }*/
// Only change code above this line
//if (contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop) === true) {}
// Change these values to test your function

lookUp("Bob", "number");

All right, so now it's time to get up close and personal with setInterval().

I spent some time watching this video (it's in Spanish), and it was pretty good:

Today was a short day, but I had a good time and I understand the problem better now.  I'll continue tomorrow.
