How to catch td index in Datatable?

I have datatable and trying to catch column+row index when user press on it: 

$('#datatable tbody').on('click', 'tr', function(){
    var eq = $(this).index(); 
    console.log(eq); 

});

So, I could catch index of row (tr) by this way. However, I need also column (td index) with it. Does anyone could advise some approach?

Here is an example of similar task, just from backside (when someone needs few catchers). I am not good enought in jquery to convert it to my trouble.

You can listen for td clicks and then get the indices of both the clicked td and it's parent tr:

$('#datatable tbody').on('click', 'td', function(){
    var clicked_td = $(this);
    var td_index = clicked_td.index(); 
    var tr_index = clicked_td.parent().index();
    console.log(td_index); 
    console.log(tr_index); 
});
