 // 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 trailing "p" from the string, leaving just the numeric part (e.g., "399").
+
+// 3. const paddedPenceNumberString = penceStringWithoutTrailingP.padStart(3, "0");
+//    Pads the numeric string on the left with zeros so it is at least 3 characters long (e.g., "9" becomes "009").
+//    This ensures consistent formatting for the next steps.
+
+// 4. const pounds = paddedPenceNumberString.substring(0, paddedPenceNumberString.length - 2);
+//    Extracts all but the last two characters to represent the pounds part (e.g., from "399", it takes "3").
+
+// 5. const pence = paddedPenceNumberString
+//       .substring(paddedPenceNumberString.length - 2)
+//       .padEnd(2, "0");
+//    Extracts the last two characters for the pence part (e.g., from "399", it takes "99").
+//    If there are fewer than two characters, it pads the result on the right with zeros.
