Our first map callback will run a mod 2 map function over [4, 1] leaving us with a new array of [0, 1]. The second map call which is inside our callback will subtract 1 from every element, leaving us with [3, 0]. Last, we take element at index 0, 0, and add it to element of index 1 from our second map function, 0, leaving us with 0; thus, after the first iteration of the top level map function, we are left with an array that looks like so: [1, [2, 0], [3, 3]].
