Default Two-Way Lookup Array Formula

Hi Everyone,

I've gone through the help Index but cannot completely fathom the Array
Formula syntax below.

Can you help me understand the syntax of this Array Formula?

Column A = Gender
Column B = Vehicle
Column C = Vehicle Model Name

=INDEX(C2:C10,MATCH(1,(A2:A10="Male")*(B2:B10="Car "),0))

What does this do: MATCH(1, ?

Why does the MATCH Function use the number 1?

I presume the Formula will return the Vehicle Model Name from Column C when
a MATCH of both criteria Male and Car is found. However, I do not
understand the usage of MATCH(1, ?

Regards,
Sam
