Language :- Python

Problem Statement:
Given an integer N, your task is to find an NxN layout of X's and O's such that no
axis-aligned square (2x2 or larger) within the grid has the same symbol at each of
its four corners.

 

For instance, given N = 5, the following would not be a valid output:
000XX
XX000
ΧΟΧOX
OX00X
ΧOXXO
because there's a 3x3 square whose four corners are all X's:
Χ.Χ.
.... ..
Χ.Χ.
That is, if any four cells(elements) of the grid are at equal distances from each
other(square), they must not be either all X's or all O's.
Example input
5
Example output
000XX
XX000
0oXoX
ОХООХ
ΧOXXO
