// However, the code isn't working

// Before running the code, make and explain a prediction about why the code won't work
77
// Then run the code and see what error it gives.
88
// 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

// slice is a method that works on strings, not numbers.

// To fix the error, we can convert cardNumber to a string using the toString() method before calling slice.
