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

// Before running the code, make and explain a prediction about why the code won't work

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

/* my prediction about why the code isn't working is because either the new variable is declared with const keyword
12+
or the value of the variable cardNumber is a number not a string whereas the method .slice works only with strings */

// the error it gives 'cardNumber.slice is not a function'

// It gives this error because the computer assumes the coder is trying to invoke a function

// yes it is my second prediction

// updating the expression last4Digits is assigned to, in order to get the correct value is as follows
17+
// method one: puting the value of the variable cardNumber into quotes
18+
// method two: invoking the method .toString() to convert the type of the variable from number to string
