 // To begin, we can start with
 // 1. const penceString = "399p": initialises a string variable with the value "399p"
+// 2. const penceStringWithoutTrailingP = penceString.substring(0, penceString.length - 1): Removes the "p" from the end.
+// 3. const paddedPenceNumberString = penceStringWithoutTrailingP.padStart(3, "0"): Makes the string at least 3 letters long by adding "0"s to the front.

+// 6. console.log(`£${pounds}.${pence}`): Combines the pounds and pence with a decimal point and a "£" symbol.
