LeetCode_N-Queens

The n-queens puzzle is the problem of placing n queens on an n�n chessboard such that no two queens attack each other.

　　
Given an integer n, return all distinct solutions to the n-queens puzzle.
Each solution contains a distinct board configuration of the n-queens' placement, where  'Q'  and  '.'  both indicate a queen and an empty space respectively.
For example,There exist two distinct solutions to the 4-queens puzzle:

[

 [".Q..",  // Solution 1

  "...Q",

  "Q...",

  "..Q."],



 ["..Q.",  // Solution 2

  "Q...",

  "...Q",

  ".Q.."]

]

분석: 고전적인 재귀 문제.1. Use a int vector to store the current state,  A[i]=j refers that the ith row and jth column is placed a queen.2. Valid state:  not in the same column, which is A[i]!=A[current], not in the same diagonal direction: abs(A[i]-A[current]) != r-i3. Recursion:        Start:   placeQueen(0,n)        if current ==n then print result        else            for each place less than n,                 place queen                if current state is valid, then place next queen   place Queen(cur+1,n)           end for        end if
