// The last4Digits variable should store the last 4 digits of cardNumber
58
// However, the code isn't working
69
// Before running the code, make and explain a prediction about why the code won't work
710
// Then run the code and see what error it gives.
811
// 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

// Prediction:
15+
// cardNumber is a number, not a string
16+
// The slice method only works on strings (and arrays)
17+
// So calling slice on a number will cause an error
