title: Nesting For Loops

## Description
<section id='description'>
If you have a multi-dimensional array, you can use the same logic as the prior waypoint to loop through both the array and any sub-arrays. Here is an example:
```js
var arr = [
[1,2], [3,4], [5,6]
];
for (var i=0; i < arr.length; i++) {
for (var j=0; j < arr[i].length; j++) {
console.log(arr[i][j]);
}
}
```
This outputs each sub-element in <code>arr</code> one at a time. Note that for the inner loop, we are checking the <code>.length</code> of <code>arr[i]</code>, since <code>arr[i]</code> is itself an array.

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Modify function <code>multiplyAll</code> so that it multiplies the <code>product</code> variable by each number in the sub-arrays of <code>arr</code>
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>multiplyAll([[1],[2],[3]])</code> should return <code>6</code>
testString: assert(multiplyAll([[1],[2],[3]]) === 6, '<code>multiplyAll([[1],[2],[3]])</code> should return <code>6</code>');
- text: <code>multiplyAll([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6,7]])</code> should return <code>5040</code>
testString: assert(multiplyAll([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6,7]]) === 5040, '<code>multiplyAll([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6,7]])</code> should return <code>5040</code>');
- text: <code>multiplyAll([[5,1],[0.2, 4, 0.5],[3, 9]])</code> should return <code>54</code>
testString: assert(multiplyAll([[5,1],[0.2, 4, 0.5],[3, 9]]) === 54, '<code>multiplyAll([[5,1],[0.2, 4, 0.5],[3, 9]])</code> should return <code>54</code>');
```

## Challenge Seed
<section id='challengeSeed'>
<div id='js-seed'>
```js
function multiplyAll(arr) {
var product = 1;
// Only change code below this line
// Only change code above this line
return product;
}
// Modify values below to test your code
multiplyAll([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6,7]]);
```
</div>
</section>
## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
function multiplyAll(arr) {
var product = 1;
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < arr[i].length; j++) {
product *= arr[i][j];
}
}
return product;
}
multiplyAll([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6,7]]);
```
