Hi all,
We are doing trees in an algorithms class I am taking. The assignment
coming up is the "n queens" problem, where you have an n by n board
and must place n queens on the board such that no two queens share the
same row, column, or diagonal line. To "help" explain this, the
professor is using a tree on the board. I am completely confused! She
says I do not need to think of it in terms of trees, yet the only way
she explains it is in tree terms, so I am not sure what she is talking
about. Of course I know about trees, but when she tries to explain how
the code we are looking at relates to the tree in terms of what the
code is supposed to do, I haven't a clue as to what she is trying to
say. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to represent trees, whether
in braille or speech, or a good notation/substitute for a tree? TIA.
