According to the rules of chess, a queen can attack pieces in the same row, column, or on a diagonal line. Given $n$ queens and an $n \times n$ chessboard, find arrangements where no two queens can attack each other.
As shown in the Figure 13-15 , when $n = 4$, there are two solutions. From the perspective of the backtracking algorithm, an $n \times n$ chessboard has $n^2$ squares, presenting all possible choices `choices`. The state of the chessboard `state` changes continuously as each queen is placed.

How about the diagonal constraints? Let the row and column indices of a cell on the chessboard be $(row, col)$. By selecting a specific main diagonal, we notice that the difference $row - col$ is the same for all cells on that diagonal, **meaning that $row - col$ is a constant value on that diagonal**.
Thus, if two cells satisfy $row_1 - col_1 = row_2 - col_2$, they are definitely on the same main diagonal. Using this pattern, we can utilize the array `diags1` shown below to track whether a queen is on any main diagonal.

The permutation problem is a typical application of the backtracking algorithm. It is defined as finding all possible arrangements of elements from a given set (such as an array or string).

Compared to the previous question, **this question's input array may contain duplicate elements**, introducing new problems. For example, given the array $[4, \hat{4}, 5]$ and target element $9$, the existing code's output results in $[4, 5], [\hat{4}, 5]$, resulting in duplicate subsets.
**The reason for this duplication is that equal elements are chosen multiple times in a certain round**. In the following figure, the first round has three choices, two of which are $4$, generating two duplicate search branches, thus outputting duplicate subsets; similarly, the two $4$s in the second round also produce duplicate subsets.
