回溯法求解N皇后问题

描述 ：N*N的棋盘上放置N个皇后，使得任意一个皇后都不会被其它皇后吃掉（任意皇后在同行同列和对角线上不存在其它皇后）。

解法：回溯法。当前行递归去求解每一列的位置，当前行求解成功则求解下一行，失败则回溯到上一行继续求解。二维矩阵看做平面直角坐标系，使用直线方程能确定三种关系的函数式求得每个坐标的位置，遍历每个元素判断是否有解。java8实现如下：

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Formatter;
import java.util.List;

public class EightQueenPuzzle {
    private int boardSize;//棋盘大小

    public int getBoardSize() {
        return boardSize;
    }

    private int[][] board;//二维素组代表棋盘
    private List<int[][]> matchedBoard = new ArrayList();//结果集

    public List<int[][]> getMatchedBoard() {
        return matchedBoard;
    }

    public EightQueenPuzzle(int boardSize) {
        this.boardSize = boardSize;
        this.board = new int[boardSize][boardSize];
    }

    private class Solution {
        private int count = 0;

        private int placeQueen(int rowIndex, int colIndex) {
            if (colIndex >= boardSize || rowIndex >= boardSize) {
                if (rowIndex < boardSize) {
                    Arrays.fill(board[rowIndex], 0);//当前行皇后重置
                }
                return boardSize;//回溯到上一行
            }
            if (!columnConflict(rowIndex, colIndex) && !slashConflict(rowIndex, colIndex)) {
                Arrays.fill(board[rowIndex], 0);//重置之前放置的皇后
                board[rowIndex][colIndex] = 1;
                if (rowIndex == boardSize - 1) {
                    count++;

                        cpy[i] = Arrays.copyOf(board[i], boardSize);
                    }
                    matchedBoard.add(cpy);
