// a) How many function calls are there in this file? Write down all the lines where a function call is made
15+
// carPrice.replaceAll(",", "") - line 4
16+
// Number(...) - line 4, wraps the result of replaceAll
17+
// priceAfterOneYear.replaceAll("," "") - line 5
18+
// Number(...) - line 5, wraps the second result of replaceAll
19+
// console.log(..) - line 9
20+
// Answer: Overall, there are 5 function calls, on lines 4, 5 and 9.

// b) Run the code and identify the line where the error is coming from - why is this error occurring? How can you fix this problem?
23+
// Error: priceAfterOneYear = Number(priceAfterOneYear.replaceAll("," ""));
24+
// The red line on replaceAll("," "") indicates that there is a syntax error on line 5.
25+
// A comma was missing between the two arguments inside the replaceAll function call.
26+
// To fix this, I added a comma between the two arguments like this: replaceAll(",", "").
27+
28+
// Error: SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list and price AfterOneYear = Number(priceAfterOneYear.replaceAll("," ""));
29+
// The error appears on the console.log line because the string was written using smart quotes instead of normal JavaScript quotes.
30+
// Smart quotes break the strong syntax rules of JavaScript.
31+
// To fix this, replace the smart quotes with straight quotes.

// e) Describe what the expression Number(carPrice.replaceAll(",","")) is doing - what is the purpose of this expression?
44+
// The expression Number(carPrice.replaceAll(",", "")) is removing all the commas from carPrice string by replacing every comma with an empty string.
45+
// The purpose is to clean the value so that it can be converted to a proper number using Number().
