Answer 1

Also I would advise you to use Equals instead of ==. If you want to know more about the difference you can read this: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/difference-between-and-equals-method-in-chash

Answer 2

You don't want to see if the name is "jake", you want to see if the value is "jake". You just need to change name to value on the condition.

Answer 3

You are checking existing setted value, not setting value.
Use
if ( value == "jake")

Answer 4
