Chapter 1, Problem 5PP

Explanation of Solution

Algorithm to create a tile pattern that is composed of black and white tiles:

Step 1: Declare and define the required variable and get the number of rows and number columns present.

Step 2: The center of row is computed using the formula “center_row = (Number of rows+1)/2”.

Step 3: The center of column is computed using the formula “center_column = (Number of columns)/2”.

Step 4: if the number of rows present is even in number then set the value of “middle=1”.

Step 5: Else set the value of “middle=2”.

Step 6: Iterate using for loop from 1 to number of rows

Step 7: Iterate using for loop from 1 to number of columns

Step 8: If the number of rows present is equal to 1 or number of rows, place the black tile at the location (N_S Borders).

Step 9: Else if the number of rows is equal to 1 or number of columns, place the white tile at the location (E_W Borders).

Step 10: Else if the number of rows is equal to “center_row” AND the column numbers is between the “center_column” and “center_column + middle” in general place the black tile at the location (CENTER)...
