52// However, the code isn't working

4+ //Prediction: The code won't work because cardNumber is stored as a Number and not a string, this is because '.slice()' is a string method
5+
66// Before running the code, make and explain a prediction about why the code won't work
7+ // Numbers in JavaScript don't work with '.slice()'

710// Then run the code and see what error it gives.
11+ //This is the error it gives: TypeError: cardNumber.slice is not a function

814// Consider: Why does it give this error? Is this what I predicted? If not, what's different?
15+
16+ //Explanation: Yes, my prediction was accurate. JavaScript threw a TypeError because '.slice()' is a string method
917// Then try updating the expression last4Digits is assigned to, in order to get the correct value

You can’t perform that action at this time.
