If you are working through the CodeHS curriculum, you’ve likely encountered the assignment. It’s a classic challenge that tests your ability to use nested loops, coordinate systems, and conditional logic. The most robust way to fix the alternating
The "9.1.6 Checkerboard, v1" assignment is a foundational programming exercise that teaches essential concepts like nested loops, 2D grid manipulation, conditional logic, and coordinate-based positioning. The "fixed" version requires careful attention to the alternating pattern logic, proper position calculations, and thorough testing of edge cases.

Which or flavor you are using (Java, JavaScript, or Karel)
The "fixed" solution solves this through modular arithmetic. The logic typically follows a formula checking the sum of the row and column indices:
This is where most students run into errors. Standard buggy code often tries to alternate elements by flipping a boolean flag after every iteration. However, flag-flipping breaks down when a row ends, because the first cell of the next row needs to match or alternate based on the grid geometry, not just the previous cell.
