Roux Problem¶
Define a roux array as a 1-D array such that, when it's reversed, it represents the sequence of square numbers 1, 4, 9, 16, ... with 0s interwoven between them.
Examples
# roux array of length 5
[9 0 4 0 1]
# roux array of length 8
[ 0 16 0 9 0 4 0 1]
# roux array of length 12
[ 0 36 0 25 0 16 0 9 0 4 0 1]
Note: odd-length arrays begin with a square number while even-length arrays begin with a zero.
Implement a function called make_roux(n) that inputs n, the desired size of the array, and outputs the corresponding
roux array. Then test it on the examples above.
def make_roux(n):
"""returns a roux array of length n"""
