Need help with a checkerboard algorythm - giladal - Sep-26-2020
Hey Guys,
In the middle of a python course and unfortunately the course is off the air right now so I cant get help from the instructors. Hopefully I can get some help here.
The chess() function gets a number in this case n that will determine the size of the canvas. For example:
8 x 8. THe function is supposed to color the pixels either black or white in order to create a checkerboard. As you can see, i tried using (x + y)%2 to determine what pixel to color but it doesnt seem to accept my answer. Plus if I show the image result it prints out very very small...
Anyways, would appreciate some help to solve this:
### DO NOT MODIFY THIS CODE ###
### THIS CODE LETS YOU VIEW THE IMAGE YOU MAKE ###
### USING im.show() ###
from PIL import Image
import urllib
import random
def display_image(im):
fn = str(random.randint(1, 500)) + ".bmp"
im.save(fn)
print("<img src=\"/resources/{}\">".format(fn))
print("")
Image.Image.show = display_image
### YOU CAN MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE ###
def chess(n):
img = Image.new('L',(n,n),255)
mat = img.load()
for x in range(n):
for y in range(n):
if (x + y)%2:
mat[x,y] = 0
else:
mat[x,y] = 255
img.show()
return img
### TESTS ###
print("********************")
print("Starting the test:")
print("********************")
print("Checking for n = 2")
ans = chess(2)
test = [0, 255, 255, 0]
if type(ans) == Image.Image and list(ans.getdata()) == test:
print("CORRECT: A proper chess board was drawn for n = 2")
else:
print("WRONG: An improper chess board was drawn for n = 2")
print("********************")
print("Checking for n = 3")
ans = chess(3)
test = [0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0]
if type(ans) == Image.Image and list(ans.getdata()) == test:
print("CORRECT: A proper chess board was drawn for n = 3")
else:
print("WRONG: An improper chess board was drawn for n = 3")
print("********************")
print("Tests concluded, add more tests of your own below!")
print("********************")The answers I receive are:********************
Starting the test:
********************
Checking for n = 2
WRONG: An improper chess board was drawn for n = 2
********************
Checking for n = 3
WRONG: An improper chess board was drawn for n = 3
********************
Tests concluded, add more tests of your own below!

Your parity is off. If you change the conditional to
(x + y + 1)%2, it works. Or you could change your tests to be the reverse. That should work as well.

Does that mean that changing the color to 255 and leaving it (x+y)%2 the color on the else statement to 255 will also help?
for y in range(n):
if (x + y)%2:
mat[x,y] = 255
else:
mat[x,y] = 0
