Making a multiplication table as 2 arrays

I am currently trying to make a multiplication table of 10 with 2 nested for loops
It works somewhat, but the first indices aren’t working as intended:

my code:


var multiplicationTable = []
for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
    multiplicationTable[i] = [i]
     for (var j = 1; j <= 10; j++) {
        multiplicationTable[i][j] = i*j
    }
}

result:

[10, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100]

I don’t understand why the first index of each array is the same as the second,
I want to create this without that first index.

Help and how you solved it would be amazing, thank you very much!

>Solution :

Array indexes start at 0. So subtract 1 from i and j to get the appropriate array indexes.

var multiplicationTable = []
for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
  multiplicationTable[i-1] = []
  for (var j = 1; j <= 10; j++) {
    multiplicationTable[i-1][j-1] = i * j
  }
}

console.log(multiplicationTable);
