Description:
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.."] ]
Thought:
跟之前的N-Queens的问题相似,只是稍微麻烦了一点。这次在写代码的时候,把进行下一行计算时的k+1写成了++k,导致未找到解时不能正确返回,可以说是很浪费时间去debug了。同时跟上次相比,在每次模拟的时候,记录该行所占的列即可。
Code:
class Solution {
public:
vector<int> result;
vector<vector<int>> intResult;
vector<vector<string>> stringResult;
vector<vector<string>> solveNQueens(int n) {
int* rowAndCol = new int[n];
result = vector<int>(n, 0);
string temp = string(n, '.');
findResult(0, n, rowAndCol);
for (int i = 0; i < intResult.size(); i++) {
stringResult.push_back(vector<string>(n, temp));
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
stringResult[i][j][intResult[i][j]] = 'Q';
}
}
return stringResult;
}
void findResult(int k, int n, int rowAndCol[]) {
if (k == n) {//Are you OK?
intResult.push_back(result);
return;
}
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
rowAndCol[k] = i;
if (check(rowAndCol, k)) {
result[k] = i;
findResult(k+1, n, rowAndCol);
}
}
}
bool check(int rowAndCol[], int rows) {
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
if (rowAndCol[i] == rowAndCol[rows] || abs(rowAndCol[i] - rowAndCol[rows]) == abs(i - rows)) return false;
}
return true;
}
};
