// The last4Digits variable should store the last 4 digits of cardNumber

// However, the code isn't working
67
// Before running the code, make and explain a prediction about why the code won't work
78
// Then run the code and see what error it gives.

// Consider: Why does it give this error? Is this what I predicted? If not, what's different?

// Then try updating the expression last4Digits is assigned to, in order to get the correct value

// Answer
14+
// The code will not work because the slice method in javascript only works on a string or an array.
15+
// The data type of the value stored in the variable cardNumber is a number and for this reason, the code will return an error.
16+
// After running the code, it gave an error " TypeError: cardNumber.slice is not a function"
17+
// My prediction and the error align.
18+
// To update the code, I will convert the variable cardNumber to a string first then use slice() method after
