<s>[INST] Many applications in computing use indirect addressing for accessing arrays of pointers to mutable objects. One such application is the-eight Queens problem. When we employ this array of pointers to keep track of potential solutions, we can easily calculate the number of conflicting-queens of a given solution. The \( conflict(x)\) function can be used to measure the number of conflicts in the solution denoted by \(x\) (where \(x\) represents a pointer to an array of queens where each queen is represented by a pointer to her position on the board).[/INST]
