N-Queens & Other Stuff
I don't peruse RosettaCode much, but since it was referenced in a recent thread I looked at the solution there ...and was appalled.
So I rewrote it.
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/N-queens_problem#C.2B.2B
(Now to see how long it lasts unmolested.)
My solution isn't actually much longer than the crap below it, only it has a lot more commentary and whitespace. The solver itself is shorter. (And doesn't just throw random queens at the chessboard.)
Hope you enjoy.
