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.

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.."]
]

 

这道题是之前那道 N-Queens 的延伸,说是延伸其实我觉得两者顺序应该颠倒一样,上一道题比这道题还要稍稍复杂一些,两者本质上没有啥区别,都是要用回溯法 Backtracking 来解,如果理解了之前那道题的思路,此题只要做很小的改动即可,不再需要求出具体的皇后的摆法,只需要每次生成一种解法时,计数器加一即可,代码如下:

 

解法一:

class Solution {
public:
    int totalNQueens(int n) {
        int res = 0;
        vector<int> pos(n, -1);
        helper(pos, 0, res);
        return res;
    }
    void helper(vector<int>& pos, int row, int& res) {
        int n = pos.size();
        if (row == n) ++res;
        for (int col = 0; col < n; ++col) {
            if (isValid(pos, row, col)) {
                pos[row] = col;
                helper(pos, row + 1, res);
                pos[row] = -1;
            }
        }
    }
    bool isValid(vector<int>& pos, int row, int col) {
        for (int i = 0; i < row; ++i) {
            if (col == pos[i] || abs(row - i) == abs(col - pos[i])) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
};

 

但是其实我们并不需要知道每一行皇后的具体位置,而只需要知道会不会产生冲突即可。对于每行要新加的位置,需要看跟之前的列,对角线,及逆对角线之间是否有冲突,所以我们需要三个布尔型数组,分别来记录之前的列 cols,对角线 diag,及逆对角线 anti_diag 上的位置,其中 cols 初始化大小为n,diag 和 anti_diag 均为 2n。列比较简单,是哪列就直接去 cols 中查找,而对角线的话,需要处理一下,如果我们仔细观察数组位置坐标的话,可以发现所有同一条主对角线的数,其纵坐标减去横坐标再加n,一定是相等的。同理,同一条逆对角线上的数字,其横纵坐标之和一定是相等的,根据这个,就可以快速判断主逆对角线上是否有冲突。任意一个有冲突的话,直接跳过当前位置,否则对于新位置,三个数组中对应位置都赋值为 true,然后对下一行调用递归,递归返回后记得还要还原状态,参见代码如下:

 

解法二:

class Solution {
public:
    int totalNQueens(int n) {
        int res = 0;
        vector<bool> cols(n), diag(2 * n), anti_diag(2 * n);
        helper(n, 0, cols, diag, anti_diag, res);
        return res;
    }
    void helper(int n, int row, vector<bool>& cols, vector<bool>& diag, vector<bool>& anti_diag, int& res) {
        if (row == n) ++res;
        for (int col = 0; col < n; ++col) {
            int idx1 = col - row + n, idx2 = col + row;
            if (cols[col] || diag[idx1] || anti_diag[idx2]) continue;
            cols[col] = diag[idx1] = anti_diag[idx2] = true;
            helper(n, row + 1, cols, diag, anti_diag, res);
            cols[col] = diag[idx1] = anti_diag[idx2] = false;
        }
    }
};
