The line const milesToThe = 255,433; gives a syntax error. Commas in JavaScript indicate that there is another expression to evaluate and are not used as number separators. If you want to use a number separator to improve the readability of your number, you could use _ and change the line to const milesToThe = 255_433. JavaScript will ignore the _ and set milesToThe to 255433.
