What type of value do you expect your function to return? A number or a string?
Does your function return the type of value you expect?
Different types of values may appear identical in the console output, but they are represented and treated differently in the program. For example,
console.log(123); // Output 123
console.log("123"); // Output 123
// Treated differently in the program
let sum1 = 123 + 100; // Evaluate to 223 -- a number
let sum 2 = "123" + 100; // Evaluate to "123100" -- a string.

I have added type conversion to cast string to Number, or return NaN if not possible to cast.

How you checked if the return value is a number and not a string after you made the changes?

I did not. Now it's fixed.
Check the input, convert to Number if possible, else return NaN. Output is a Number.
