力扣面试题 08.12. 八皇后（java回溯解法）

Problem: 面试题 08.12. 八皇后

题目描述

思路

八皇后问题的性质可以利用回溯来解决，将大问题具体分解成如下待解决问题：

1.以棋盘的每一行为回溯的决策阶段，判断当前棋盘位置能否放置棋子
2.如何判断当前棋盘位置是否可以放置棋子

解题方法

1.回溯函数：

1.1定义二维结果集result，char类型二维数组（作为棋盘）并初始化
1.2当决策阶段row等于n时，将当前的决策路径添加到result中（注意决策阶段应该等于n时才说明将棋盘判断完了，因为当决策阶段等于n时说明0 - n-1 已经判断处理完）
1.3由于在每一个决策阶段我们需要对棋盘的每一列棋格判断（穷举），所以以每一列为循环判断（调用判断当前位置是否可以添加棋子的函数），若可以则先将棋盘当前位置添上棋子，再回溯判断当前行的下一行，判断完当前行后还需恢复当前棋盘位置的状态

2.判断当前位置是否可以添加棋子函数

2.1依次利用循环判断当前位置的列，右上角，左上角是否存在棋子，存在则不可在当前位置添加棋子

复杂度

时间复杂度:

$O(n！)$

空间复杂度:

$O(n)$
