Determine if a Sudoku is valid, according to: Sudoku Puzzles - The Rules.
The Sudoku board could be partially filled, where empty cells are filled with the character '.'
.
A partially filled sudoku which is valid.
Note:
A valid Sudoku board (partially filled) is not necessarily solvable. Only the filled cells need to be validated.
Code:
<span style="font-size:14px;">class Solution {
public:
bool isValid(const vector<vector<char> > &board, int row, int col) {
for (int i = 0; i < 9; ++i)
if ((i != row && board[row][col] == board[i][col]) || (i != col && board[row][col] == board[row][i]))
return false;
for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
for (int j = 0; j < 3; ++j)
if (i+(row/3)*3 != row && j+(col/3)*3 != col && board[row][col] == board[i+(row/3)*3][j+(col/3)*3])
return false;
return true;
}
bool isValidSudoku(vector<vector<char> > &board) {
for (int i = 0; i < 9; ++i)
for (int j = 0; j < 9; ++j)
if (board[i][j] != '.' && !isValid(board, i, j))
return false;
return true;
}
