@GingleGangle1 IIT is India's version of MIT. If you graduate from IIT, you're considered to be one of the top most engineers in the world. Its a very prestigious institute.
What one can do is write these with their basis vectors: (t e_0, x e_1, y e_2, z e_3), so that t, x, y, and z are scalars as you say. The combination of x e_1 does behave like a vector. While the norm of the basis vectors is 1 in flat spacetime, they can be greater or less than 1 in curved spacetime.

no (x,y,z) is a co-ordinate, [x,y,z] is a vector.. nub

x,y and z are scalar, too. only (x,y,z) is a vector ;)
