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

// However, the code isn't working

//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

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

// Numbers in JavaScript don't work with '.slice()'

// Then run the code and see what error it gives.

//This is the error it gives: TypeError: cardNumber.slice is not a function

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

//Explanation: Yes, my prediction was accurate. JavaScript threw a TypeError because '.slice()' is a string method

// Then try updating the expression last4Digits is assigned to, in order to get the correct value
