Solution of eight queens problem in Prolog
The problem can be formulated as
P={(x1,y1),(x2,y2),……………………..(x8,y8)}
where (x1,y1) gives the position of the first queen and so on. So it can be clearly seen that the domains for xi and yi are
Dx = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}and Dy ={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} respectively.
The constraints are
i. No two queens should be in the same row,
i.e yi≠yj for i=1 to 8;j=1 to 8;i≠j
ii. No two queens should be in the same column,
i.e xi≠xj for i=1 to 8;j=1 to 8;i≠j
iii. There should not be two queens placed on the same diagonal line
i.e (yi-yj) ≠ ±(xi-xj).
Now a solution to this problem is an instance of P wherein the above mentioned constraints are satisfied.

Basically it's backtracking with generating permutations of 8 where the index(i) of the array is the row and the value (v[i]) is the column, plus a few more checks for diagonal moves.
