4,464 PointsTwo Dimensional Array
Task 1 of an assignment was:"In this code challenge you need to create a two-dimensional array -- an array of arrays. Start by creating an empty array literal named coordinates."
I got that right by saying: var coordinates = [];
This question i'm stuck on is Task 2 https://teamtreehouse.com/library/javascript-loops-arrays-and-objects/tracking-multiple-items-with-arrays/create-a-two-dimensional-array
A two-dimensional Array is an array of arrays. Add 1 array to the coordinates array. That new array should have two items in it.
I thought it would be: var coordinates=[ [dog,cat] ];
But, when I type that in it tells me that Task 1 is no longer passing, what am I doing wrong?

var coordinates = [ ["dog", "cat"] ];
