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 the number of distinct solutions to the n-queens puzzle.
n 皇后问题研究的是如何将 n 个皇后放置在 n×n 的棋盘上,并且使皇后彼此之间不能相互攻击。
给定一个整数 n,返回 n 皇后不同的解决方案的数量。
Example:
Input: 4
Output: 2
Explanation: There are two distinct solutions to the 4-queens puzzle as shown below.
[
[".Q..", // Solution 1
"...Q",
"Q...",
"..Q."],
["..Q.", // Solution 2
"Q...",
"...Q",
".Q.."]
]

cols = vector<int>(n,0);
diag1 = vector<int>(2 * n - 1, 0);
diag2 = vector<int>(2 * n - 1, 0);
backtrack(n, 0);
return cnt;
}

小结:是前一题的子问题LeetCode 51. N-Queens,直接copy上一题的代码,最后输出cnt
即可。
