问题描述:
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..”]
]
分析:这道题是典型的回溯法(递归+剪枝),从第一行开始向下,一直到最后一行,如果都找到了,那么将其进行处理之后添加到res中。这里,我的tmpList存的是col值,为的是方便进行比对(同一行,同一列或同一斜行)。
代码如下:288ms
public class Solution {
public List<List<String>> solveNQueens(int n) {
List<List<String>> res = new LinkedList<>();
List<Integer> tmpList = new LinkedList<>();//store col
solve(n,0,res,tmpList);
return res;
}
private void solve(int n,int index,List<List<String>> res,List<Integer> tmpList){
if(n==index){
List<String> tmpStrList = new LinkedList<>();
for(int i = 0;i<tmpList.size();i++){
int col = tmpList.get(i);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for(int j = 0;j<n;j++){
if(j==col)
sb.append('Q');
else
sb.append('.');
}
tmpStrList.add(sb.toString());
}
res.add(tmpStrList);
return;
}
//这个地方是O(N2)的复杂度,居然没有超时,,
for(int col = 0;col<n;col++){
int row = index;
int rowList;
for(rowList = 0;rowList<tmpList.size();rowList++){
int rowrow = rowList;
int colcol = tmpList.get(rowrow);
//同一列
if(col == colcol)
break;
//同一斜线
if(Math.abs(rowrow-row)==Math.abs(colcol-col))
break;
}
if(rowList==tmpList.size()) {
tmpList.add(col);
solve(n, index + 1, res, tmpList);
tmpList.remove(tmpList.size()-1);
}
}
}
}
