Rules to play Sudoku
Sudoku is a logic puzzle where a grid composed of mini grids is presented to the player to fill each cell with a number unique to its column, row and mini-grid.
Sudoku Backtrack Algorithm
Find row, col of an unassigned cell
If there is none, return true
For digits from 1 to 9
a) If there is no conflict for digit at row,col
assign digit to row,col and recursively try fill in rest of grid
b) If recursion successful, return true
c) Else, remove digit and try another
If all digits have been tried and nothing worked, return false
Sudoku Backtrack Function
/* Takes a partially filled-in grid and attempts to assign values to
all unassigned locations in such a way to meet the requirements
for Sudoku solution (non-duplication across rows, columns, and boxes) */
bool SolveSudoku(int grid[N])
{
int row, col;
// If there is no unassigned location, we are done
if (!FindUnassignedLocation(grid, row, col))
return true; // success!
// consider digits 1 to 16
for (int num = 1; num <= n; num++)
{
// if looks promising
if (isSafe(grid, row, col, num))
{
// make tentative assignment
grid[(row)+(col*n)] = num;
// return, if success, yay!
if (SolveSudoku(grid))
return true;
// failure, unmake & try again
grid[(row)+(col*n)] = UNASSIGNED;
}
}
return false; // this triggers backtracking
}
