## 回溯法基本思想 #### 基本思想 回溯法（英语：backtracking），又称为试探法，是一种选优搜索法，按选优条件向前搜索，以达到目标。回溯法采用试错的思想，它尝试分步的去解决一个问题。在分步解决问题的过程中，当它通过尝试发现现有的分步答案不能得到有效的正确的解答的时候，它将取消上一步甚至是上几步的计算，再通过其它的可能的分步解答再次尝试寻找问题的答案。 题目示例： ~~~ Fire Net Time Limit: 2 Seconds Memory Limit: 65536 KB Suppose that we have a square city with straight streets. A map of a city is a square board with n rows and n columns, each representing a street or a piece of wall. A blockhouse is a small castle that has four openings through which to shoot. The four openings are facing North, East, South, and West, respectively. There will be one machine gun shooting through each opening. Here we assume that a bullet is so powerful that it can run across any distance and destroy a blockhouse on its way. On the other hand, a wall is so strongly built that can stop the bullets. The goal is to place as many blockhouses in a city as possible so that no two can destroy each other. A configuration of blockhouses is legal provided that no two blockhouses are on the same horizontal row or vertical column in a map unless there is at least one wall separating them. In this problem we will consider small square cities (at most 4x4) that contain walls through which bullets cannot run through. The following image shows five pictures of the same board. The first picture is the empty board, the second and third pictures show legal configurations, and the fourth and fifth pictures show illegal configurations. For this board, the maximum number of blockhouses in a legal configuration is 5; the second picture shows one way to do it, but there are several other ways. Your task is to write a program that, given a description of a map, calculates the maximum number of blockhouses that can be placed in the city in a legal configuration. The input file contains one or more map descriptions, followed by a line containing the number 0 that signals the end of the file. Each map description begins with a line containing a positive integer n that is the size of the city; n will be at most 4. The next n lines each describe one row of the map, with a '.' indicating an open space and an uppercase 'X' indicating a wall. There are no spaces in the input file. For each test case, output one line containing the maximum number of blockhouses that can be placed in the city in a legal configuration. Sample input: 4 .X.. .... XX.. .... 2 XX .X 3 .X. X.X .X. 3 ... .XX .XX 4 .... .... .... .... 0 Sample output: 5 1 5 2 4 ~~~ #### 算法设计： 1.尝试在每个空白处，放置碉堡 2.每次选择放置碉堡后，进行深度优先搜索，搜索所有可能的碉堡放置情况 3.通过所有的尝试得出碉堡的最大放置数
