    Solution

    The N-Queens Problem (placing N chess queens on an N×N chessboard such that no two queens threaten each other) is a canonical example of a problem solved using backtracking. It involves trying to place queens one by one, and if a placement leads to a conflict, the algorithm backtracks to the previous queen and tries a different position.
