I think that Javascript will give an error because .slice() is normally used with strings, and cardNumber is currently a number.
15+
const cardNumber = 4533787178994213; does not have any quotation marks, so Javascript will treat it as a number.

When run with console.log(last4Digits); we get --> TypeError : cardNumber.slice is not a function

.slice is a method used with strings and we need to make cardNumber into a string by adding quotation marks.I

const cardNumber = 4533787178994213 to const cardNumber = "4533787178994213";

Now cardNumber is a string, then we can re run the code with console.log(last4Digits); to get the correct code.
