Write a NumPy program to create an 8×8 matrix and fill it with a checkerboard pattern. Return the matrix.
Example 1:
Input: None Output: array([[0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0]])
Example 2:
Input: None Output: array([[0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0]])
You can start by creating a matrix of zeros and then fill alternate cells with 1s to create a checkerboard pattern.
import numpy as np
def create_checkerboard():
matrix = np.zeros((8,8),dtype=int)
matrix[1::2,::2] = 1
matrix[::2,1::2] = 1
return matrix
print(create_checkerboard())
