https://leetcode.com/problems/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.."] ]
解题思路：
著名的八皇后问题。开始忘了斜线也不能有棋子，只考虑行列了，所以只定义了一个visited的数组，结果当然是错误。
思路比较明显的是使用回溯，类似dfs遍历的方法。比较关键的是判断当前位置能否放棋子的这个方法。行，列都很简单，有些不直观的是斜线。其实斜线位置，就是和当前位置的row差和column差相等的地方。
有了这个方法，其他就和普通的回溯没有差异了。代码如下。
public class Solution { public List<String[]> solveNQueens(int n) { List<String[]> result = new ArrayList<String[]>(); if(n < 1) { return result; } String[] current = new String[n]; for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) { StringBuffer bf = new StringBuffer(); for(int j = 0; j < n; j++) { bf.append(‘.‘); } current[i] = bf.toString(); } int[] columnInRow = new int[n]; for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) { columnInRow[i] = -1; } dfs(n, result, current, columnInRow, 0); return result; } public void dfs(int n, List<String[]> result, String[] current, int[] columnInRow, int row) { if(row == n) { String[] temp = Arrays.copyOf(current, current.length); result.add(temp); return; } for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) { if(checkValid(columnInRow, row, i)) { columnInRow[row] = i; String temp = current[row]; current[row] = current[row].substring(0, i) + "Q" + current[row].substring(i + 1); dfs(n, result, current, columnInRow, row + 1); current[row] = temp; columnInRow[row] = -1; } } } public boolean checkValid(int[] columnInRow, int row, int column) { int temp = row - 1, i = 1; while(temp >= 0) { if(columnInRow[temp] == column) { return false; } if(column - i >= 0 && columnInRow[temp] == column - i) { return false; } if(column + i < columnInRow.length && columnInRow[temp] == column + i) { return false; } i++; temp--; } temp = row + 1; i = 1; while(temp < columnInRow.length) { if(columnInRow[temp] == column) { return false; } if(column - i >= 0 && columnInRow[temp] == column - i) { return false; } if(column + i < columnInRow.length && columnInRow[temp] == column + i) { return false; } i++; temp++; } return true; } }
