I have an assignment for my Python course that I'm struggling with.
We are supposed to make a function that prints out binary as follows:
If the input is:
chessboard(3)
It should print out:
101
010
101
And so forth..
Its a "simple" program but I'm really new to coding.
I can produce a while loop that writes out the correct length and amount of lines but I'm struggling to produce variation between the lines.
This is what I have come up with so far:
def chessboard(n):
height = n
length = n
while height > 0:
while length > 0:
print("1", end="")
length -= 1
if length > 0:
print("0", end="")
length -= 1
height -= 1
if length == 0:
break
else:
print()
length = n
With the input:
chessboard(3)
It prints out:
101
101
101
Could someone help me figure out how I could start every other line with zero instead of one?
As I understand it, it is simple :
print("stackoverflow")
def chessboard(n):
finalSentence1 = ""
finalSentence2 = ""
for i in range(n): #we add 0 and 1 as much as we have n
if i%2 == 0: #
finalSentence1 += "1"
finalSentence2 += "0"
else:
finalSentence1 += "0"
finalSentence2 += "1"
for i in range(n): #we print as much as we have n
if i%2 == 0:
print(finalSentence1)
else:
print(finalSentence2)
chessboard(3)
returns :
stackoverflow
101
010
101
