node.js - How are Status Codes Added to Express

Question

I have this code

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

const homepage = `${__dirname}/views/index.html`;
const errpage = `${__dirname}/views/404.html`;
const maincss = `${__dirname}/views/Assets/css/main.css`;
const mainjs = `${__dirname}/views/Assets/js/script.js`;
const skull = `${__dirname}/craneo.OBJ`

//pages
app.get("/skull.obj", (req, res) => res.sendfile(skull))
app.get("/", (req, res) => res.sendFile(homepage));
app.get("/style.css", (req, res) => res.sendFile(maincss))
app.get("/script.js", (req, res) => res.sendFile(mainjs))
app.get("*", (req, res) => res.sendFile(errpage)).code(404);

app.listen("80", () => {
    console.log('server started');
});

in line 15 i appended app.get("*", (req, res) => res.sendFile(errpage)) with .code(404); i tested this and inspect element said this gave me a code 200 i am not sure what is the problem i followed the instrutions from this answer and i am not sure what the problem with this code is and i new to express

Where exactly do you see code(404) in the linked answer? Programming by guessing doesn't work well. You can't randomly throw words into your code and expect it to work. It's important that the method is called status and is called on the res object before sendFile. — user16540390

It should use res.status(xxx) instead of res.code(xxx) like so:

app.get("*", (req, res) => res.status(400).sendFile(errpage));
