heres what i have

def drawCheckerBoard(myTurtle,sideLength):
    myTurtle.speed(0)
    for i in range (8):
        
        myTurtle.forward(sideLength)
        myTurtle.right(90)
        myTurtle.forward(sideLength)
        myTurtle.right(90)
        myTurtle.forward(sideLength)
        myTurtle.right(90)
        myTurtle.forward(sideLength)
        myTurtle.right(90)
