Numeric Checkerboard Grid

This program prints a numeric checkerboard grid using nested for loop.

Problem Statement

Write a Java program that prints a 4x4 checkerboard grid of alternating 1s and 0s using nested for loop.

Source Code

1 public class Checkerboard {
2 public static void main(String[] args) {
3 for(int i=0; i<4; i++) {
4 for(int j=0; j<4; j++) {
5 if((i+j) % 2 == 0) {
6 System.out.print("1 ");
7 } else {
8 System.out.print("0 ");
9 }
10 }
11 System.out.println();
12 }
13 }
14 }

Program Output

1 0 1 0 
0 1 0 1 
1 0 1 0 
0 1 0 1 

Explanation

The outer loop controls rows, inner loop prints alternating 1s and 0s based on (i+j) % 2. This demonstrates how nested loops can generate advanced numeric grids with alternating patterns. Shows how nested for loops can generate checkerboard grids.
