Program to determine color of a chessboard square using Python
Suppose we have a chessboard coordinate, that is a string that represents the coordinates of row and column of the chessboard. Below is a chessboard for your reference.
We have to check whether given cell is white or not, if white return true, otherwise return false.
So, if the input is like coordinate = "f5", then the output will be True (See the image)
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
if ASCII of coordinate[0] mod 2 is same coordinate[1]) mod 2, then
return False
otherwise,
return True
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
Example
def solve(coordinate): if (ord(coordinate[0]))%2 == int(coordinate[1])%2: return False else: return True coordinate = "f5" print(solve(coordinate))
Input
"f5"
Output
True
