N_Queens Problem.c

/* The N Queen is the problem of placing N chess queens on an 
N×N chessboard so that no two queens attack each other.

Language Used: C language

Output: The expected output is a binary matrix which has numbers 
        for the blocks where queens are placed. 
        
For example, following is the output matrix for above 4 queen solution.
OUTPUT FOR 4 Queens: { 2,  4,  1,  3}
              		 { 3,  1,  4,  2}
