// "TypeError: cardNumber.slice is not a function" is the error that it was given when running the code.

// This error occurs because the `slice` method is a string method, and `cardNumber` is a number, not a string.

// Therefore, we cannot use `slice` directly on a number.
15+
// To fix the issue, we need to convert `cardNumber` to a string by adding parentises.
