Description:
 Numpy Exercise 1
Imports
Step1:  Checkerboard
Write a Python function that creates a square (size,size) 2d Numpy array with the values 0.0 and 1.0
Step2:  Use vizarray to visualize a checkerboard of size=20 with a block size of 10px.
Step3:  Use vizarray to visualize a checkerboard of size=27 with a block size of 5px.

Explanation: Checkerboard
Write a Python function that creates a square (size,size) 2d Numpy array with the values 0.0 and 1.0:
Your function should work for both odd and even size.
The 0,0 element should be 1.0.
The dtype should be float.

va.set_block_size(10)
va.vizarray(checkerboard(20))
assert True
Explanation: Use vizarray to visualize a checkerboard of size=20 with a block size of 10px.

assert a[0,0]==1.0
assert a.sum()==8.0
assert a.dtype==np.dtype(float)

assert np.all(a[1,0:5:2]==0.0)
b = checkerboard(5)

assert b.sum()==13.0
assert np.all(b.ravel()[0:26:2]==1.0)
assert np.all(b.ravel()[1:25:2]==0.0)
Explanation: Use vizarray to visualize a checkerboard of size=27 with a block size of 5px.
