we have 4x4 square. We can paint 16 small squares white or black color. neighbouring squares can not be black colored (sharig an edge). how many patterns we can get? (if we reach a coloring from rotating another one, then those two are same. if we reach a coloring from reflecting another one, then those two are different)

    Come on, downvoter. At least let the OP know what you think is wrong with the question (perhaps you didn't see he's a "New contributer"?). Anyway, since that person won't, let me say this: this website is meant to help you solve problems you get stuck on. As your question is posed now, we have no way to tell whether you even tried the problem. Share your work with us so we can see where exactly you got stuck. Besides that, showing your work simply shows you put effort into it and we like that here :)

  • $4times 4$ is a very small grid. If one ignore the issue of overcounting due to rotational symmetry, you can count the number of configuration without nearby black squares with a few line of code. You will find there are $1234$ possible configurations. To handle overcounting due to symmetry, first figure out the number of configurations with $2$-fold symmetry $(34)$ and $4$-fold symmetry $(4)$ and then apply Burnside's lemma.
