Codehs Better - 9.1.7 Checkerboard V2

Use one loop to iterate through each row (0-7) and a nested loop to iterate through each column (0-7).

Python relies on proper indentation to know which code belongs inside a loop or function.

To create a checkerboard, we use the row and column indices. If the sum of the and column index is even, we assign one value (e.g., 0); if it is odd, we assign the other (e.g., 1). This is easily checked using the modulo operator ( % ): if (row + col) % 2 == 0: (Sum is even) else: (Sum is odd) Step-by-Step Implementation 9.1.7 Checkerboard V2 Codehs

Create an empty list and use a loop to append 8 sub-lists, each containing eight zeros.

The core of this challenge lies in understanding how to access specific elements in a list of lists and applying a mathematical condition to alternate values. The Core Logic: The Modulo Operator Use one loop to iterate through each row

Ensure both loops run exactly from range(8) to avoid errors when accessing the 8x8 grid.

The autograder often checks if you actually changed the values in the list using my_grid[row][col] = 1 . Simply printing a pattern without updating the list will likely cause the test to fail. If the sum of the and column index

Call the provided print_board function to display your final 2D list. Solution Code

To solve the exercise, you need to create an 8x8 grid (a 2D list) and fill it with alternating 0s and 1s to form a checkerboard pattern.
