pad(string, length){

  if(length <= string.length){

    return string

  }

  var startPaddingLength = Math.floor((length - string.length/2));

  var endPaddingLength =  length - string.length - startPaddingLength;

  var paddedString =' '.repeat(startPaddingLength)+ string+' '.repeat(endPaddingLength);

  return paddedString;

}

gives following error:
