% this program places N queenson the NxN board
% a/ randomly
% b/ one queen in each column
% c/ onequeen in each column and one queen in each row
% and checks the number of attacks.
% It places the queens repeatedly until there is no attack.
% This is a brute force method for solving the N-queen problem.
