Knight Moves Validity Checker

This Java code defines methods to calculate valid knight moves on a chessboard from a given starting position. It checks if a row and column are valid on an 8x8 board, calculates the destination position after a knight's 2 row, 1 column or 2 column, 1 row move, and returns all possible destinations for a knight from a given starting position. The main method tests the methods by checking validity, calculating single moves, and finding all moves from sample positions.
