N-Queens
<p>The <strong>n-queens</strong> puzzle is the problem of placing <code>n</code> queens on an <code>n x n</code> chessboard such that no two queens attack each other.</p>

<p>Given an integer <code>n</code>, return <em>all distinct solutions to the <strong>n-queens puzzle</strong></em>. You may return the answer in <strong>any order</strong>.</p>

<p>Each solution contains a distinct board configuration of the n-queens&#39; placement, where <code>&#39;Q&#39;</code> and <code>&#39;.&#39;</code> both indicate a queen and an empty space, respectively.</p>
