The answer to that quiz is:
const coords = [
[0, 2],
[1, 3],
[2, 4]
];
console.log( `x: ${coords[1][0]}, y: ${coords[1][1]}` );
Hope this helps !

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 5,081 PointsHi William, because JS uses zero-based array indexing (so the first index position is 0 not 1 in an array).
In the example above with have 3 inner arrays inside the outer array. First inner array position = [0], second [1], third [2].
So to access the 1 value in the second inner (nested) array, we need to access the second nested array [1], and then access the first index position of this nested array [0].
To access the 3 value in the second nested array, we need to access the second nested array [1], and then access the second index position of this nested array [1].
