DSA in Python – N-Queens Problem | Recursion & Backtracking | Leetcode 51 – Part 80 [Hindi]

7.7K views on YouTube

🚀 Welcome to Part 80 of Code & Debug’s DSA in Python Course!

In this video, we solve the classic N-Queens problem (Leetcode 51) using Recursion & Backtracking. This is one of the most famous constraint satisfaction problems, where we place N queens on an N×N chessboard so that no two queens attack each other.

📚 What you’ll learn in this video:
✅ Understanding the chessboard constraints for N-Queens
✅ Recursive Backtracking strategy to place queens safely
✅ Optimizations using hashing for columns & diagonals
✅ Time and space complexity analysis
✅ Handling edge cases and understanding the recursion tree

💡 Why is this important?
The N-Queens problem is a staple in interviews and competitive coding. It builds deep intuition for backtracking, grid-based problems, and safe placement logic—essential for problems involving 2D recursion and constraints.
