Program Plan:

• Import required packages.
• Declare a main class named “Test” which extends the “Application” class.
  • Declare a “start ()” method which overrides the “start ()” method in the “Application” class. Inside this method,
    • Assign width as “200” to the variable “WIDTH_VALUE” and height as “200” to the variable “HEIGHT_VALUE”.
    • Create a Pane.
    • Loop 8 times using “for” loop.
      • If “i%2” equals “0”, then assign that value to the Boolean variable “is_White”.
      • Loop 8 times using “for” loop.
        • Create a rectangle object.
        • Set the stroke color as “BLACK”.
        • Check if the Boolean variable value is true.
          • Fill the box with white color.
        • Else,
          • Fill the box with black color.
        • Now assign false to the Boolean variable.
        • Add the rectangle object to the pane.
    • Create a scene and place it on the stage.
    • Set the title as “Exercise14_06”.
    • Display the stage on the window using “primaryStage.show ()” method.
  • Declare a main method using “public static main”.
    • Launch the method using “launch ()” method.
