 // To begin, we can start with
 // 1. const penceString = "399p": initialises a string variable with the value "399p"
+// 2. penceString.substring(0, penceString.length - 1): removes the trailing "p" by taking all characters except the last one -> "399"
+// 3. paddedPenceNumberString = "399".padStart(3, "0"): ensures the string is at least 3 characters long, padding with "0" on the left if needed. "399" stays "399" but "5p" would become "005"
+// 4. pounds = paddedPenceNumberString.substring(0, length - 2): takes everything except the last 2 digits, giving the pounds part -> "3"
+// 5. pence = paddedPenceNumberString.substring(length - 2).padEnd(2, "0"): takes the last 2 digits for the pence -> "99". padEnd ensures it stays 2 digits e.g. "5" would become "50"
+// 6. console.log prints the final result combining pounds and pence -> £3.99
