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:
使用回溯法解决N皇后问题,是常见的解决方法。分N步放置皇后,由于皇后之间不能同行、同列、同斜线,所以每次放置皇后的时候,都要考虑是否与已有的皇后“冲突”,如果冲突,则改变位置,直至所有皇后放置完毕。
测试皇后冲突的函数:isValid();
本文思路比较取巧,使用a[n]记录N皇后位置。根据皇后放置规则可知,每一行有且只有一个皇后,所以从第一行到第N行,依次放置第n个皇后。a[n]记录第n个皇后所在列数。即第i个皇后放置在第i行第a[i]列。

具体实现如下(AC 36ms):
class Solution { public: vector<vector<string> > re; //测试在第row行,第row列放置皇后是否有效 int isValid(int *a, int n, int row, int col) { int tmpcol=0; for(int tmprow=0;tmprow<row;tmprow++) { tmpcol = a[tmprow]; if(tmpcol == col)// 同列 return 0; if((tmpcol-col) == (tmprow - row))// 在同一右斜线 return 0; if((tmpcol-col) == (row - tmprow))// 在同一左斜线 return 0; } return 1; } void PrintN(int *a, int n) { vector<string> tmps; for(int i=0;i<n;i++) { string s(n,‘.‘); s[a[i]]=‘Q‘; tmps.push_back(s); } re.push_back(tmps); } void n_queens(int *a,int n, int index) { for(int i=0;i<n;i++) { if(isValid(a,n,index,i)) { a[index]=i; if(index == n-1) { PrintN(a,n); a[index]=0; return; } n_queens(a,n,index+1); a[index]=0; } } } vector<vector<string> > solveNQueens(int n) { int *a = new int[n]; memset(a,0,sizeof(int)*n); n_queens(a,n,0); return re; } };
N皇后个数对应解的个数:(验证程序)
