Output: 2
Explanation: There are two distinct solutions to the 4-queens puzzle as shown.
Example 2:
Input: n = 1
Output: 1
Solution:
- NOTE: I highly recommend going through the Backtracking chapters in the order they are given in the Index page to get the most out of it and be able to build a rock-solid understanding.
