⍝ N-Queens — count solutions to placing N non-attacking queens on N×N ⍝ ⍝ A solution is encoded as a permutation P of 1..N where P[i] is the ⍝ column of the queen in row i. Rows and columns are then automatically ⍝ unique (it's a permutation). We must additionally rule out queens ⍝ sharing a diagonal: |i-j| = |P[i]-P[j]| for any pair. ⍝ ⍝ Backtracking via reduce — the classic Roger Hui style: ⍝ queens ← {≢{⍵,¨⍨↓(0=∊(¨⍳⍴⍵)≠.+|⍵)/⍳⍴⍵}/(⍳⍵)⍴⊂⍳⍵} ⍝ ⍝ Plain reading: ⍝ permute 1..N, keep those where no two queens share a diagonal. ⍝ ⍝ Known solution counts (OEIS A000170): ⍝ N 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ⍝ q(N) 1 0 0 2 10 4 40 92 352 724 queens ← {≢({(i j)←⍺⍵ ⋄ (|i-j)≠|(P[i])-(P[j])}⌿permutations ⍵)}
