Why is the if-else branch not firing correctly?

  I can't understand why else in this code is triggered first, and then if?

  Because you compare the entered name with each of the array and at each iteration if the name does not match, print a message.

  Well, for example, I'm Brad Pitt. I enter this means: 'Pitt'. The following happens in the code:
  
  - 'Pitt' === 'Kutcher'?
  
  - No. alert ('No results found for your request')
  
  - 'Pitt' === 'Pitt'?
  
  - Yes. alert ('with a bunch of uninteresting information')

  Because your else block is triggered at each iteration of the loop.

  const data = [
  
    {
  
      firstName: 'Ashton',
  
      lastName: 'Kutcher',
  
      age: 40
  
    },
  
    {
  
      firstName: 'Bredley',
  
      lastName: 'Pitt',
  
      age: 54
  
    },
  
    {
  
      firstName: 'Hannah',
  
      lastName: 'Dakota',
  
      age: 24
  
    }
  
  ];
  
  
  
  let pr = prompt('Пользователь, введи свою фамилию!');
  
  let result = pr.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + pr.slice(1).toLowerCase();
  
  const user = data.find(user => result === user.lastName)
  
  alert(user != null ? `User name: ${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`:`No results found for your request`)
