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

// However, the code isn't working

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

// 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

// I am predicting the code wont't work because the slice method does not work for numbers I guess
14+
// when i run the program it is giving an error saying "TypeError: cardNumber.slice is not a function"
15+
// It is giving this error because our var cardNumber is number and numbers don't have slice() method & it is what I predicted
16+
// In order our code to be able to run we need first to change the number type into String so that the slice() method can function
