Hi Joseph,

You must add commas in order to separate each item within an array. That's why it's very common to enter each item in a two-dimensional array on a separate line.

const coordinates = [ 
    [1, 2],
    [0, 1],
    [1, 2],
    [0, 1] 
];

console.log(coordinates) // logs the array.

Please note: the last item within an array will not have an ending comma.

Hope this helps.

Your arrays should be separated by commas
