## This program finds arrangements of q queens and p pawns on an r-by-c chessboard (q,p,r, and c input by user) so that any pair of queens on the same row, column, or diagonal has at least one pawn between them.
## The program is inspired by the September 2018 College Mathematics Journal article "It's Puzzling" by C. Douglas Howard.  (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07468342.2018.1500062?journalCode=ucmj20)
