Problem Statement 1:
Problem
Given a chess board having N×N cells, you need to place N queens on the board in such a way that no queen attacks
any other queen.
Input:
The only line of input consists of a single integer denoting N.
Output:
If it is possible to place all the N queens in such a way that no queen attacks another queen, then print N lines
having N integers. The integer in ith line and jth column will denote the cell (i,j) of the board and should be 1 if a queen
is placed at (i,j) otherwise 0. If there are more than way of placing queens print any of them. If it is not possible to place
all N queens in the desired way, then print "Not possible" (without quotes).

Problem Statement 2:
CODE:
#Swarnim Aditya Pandey
#20BCS1313
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
int solve(int n)
{
if (n <= 1)
return 1; if (n == 2)
return 2; if (n == 3)
return 4;
return solve(n - 1) + solve(n - 2) + solve(n - 3);
}
int main()
{
int n; cin >> n;
cout << "No of ways to climb to " << n << " stairs: ";
cout << solve(n) << endl; return 0;
}
