Class Queen

java.lang.Object

Queen

public class Queen
extends java.lang.Object

This class is meant to recreate the chess piece of a Queen, although it is general enough it could be used for different chess pieces, for the Eight Queens theoretical problem. This class holds a row and column and the getters for those fields. It also has a toString() method that returns the Queen as a String resembling "{row, column}" and an equals method which considers queens equal when they have the same row and column
