my code is this

Code:

---

public class Checkerboard
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    for(int i=0;i<8;i++){
      for(int j=0;j<8;j++){
        if((j)%2==0)
        System.out.print("X");
        else if ((i)%2==0)
        System.out.print("O");
        else{System.out.print("X");}
      }
        System.out.println("");
      }
      }
  }

any ideas?

Looks like you need to print a 0 at the end of some lines in stead of at the beginning.
Is that the problem?

Add some printlns to your code to show the values of the variables that controls whether a 0 or an X is being printed.
Change the logic so the lines start with the letter you want.

You probably want nested if statements rather than a 3 branch if statement.

public class Checkerboard
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
for(int i=0;i<8;i++){
for(int j=0;j<8;j++){

if(i%2 == 0) {
if(j%2 == 0)
System.out.print("O");
else
System.out.print("X");
} else {
System.out.print("X");
}
}
System.out.println("");
}
}
}

output :

OXOXOXOX
XXXXXXXX
OXOXOXOX
XXXXXXXX
OXOXOXOX
XXXXXXXX
OXOXOXOX
XXXXXXXX

Do you want a pat on the head Dinesh? In future do not post your solution. The assignment is for the OP to write it, not you.
