Project Euler Problems 1 to 100 - Problem 16: Power digit sum

Tell us what’s happening:

Cannot figure out what I am doing wrong here. Can anyone help?
3. powerDigitSum(128) should return 166.
4. powerDigitSum(1000) should return 1366.
// tests completed
// console output
2^15 = 32768
Sum of digits = 26
2^15 = 32768
Sum of digits = 26

Your code so far

function powerDigitSum(exponent) {
  const number = Math.pow(2, exponent); // regular number
  const digitSum = number
    .toString()
    .split('')
    .reduce((sum, digit) => sum + Number(digit), 0);

  console.log('2^' + exponent + ' = ' + number);
  console.log('Sum of digits = ' + digitSum);

  return digitSum;
}

// Works fine for small exponents:
powerDigitSum(15);   // ✅ 2^15 = 32768, Sum = 26
