LeetCode: 36. Valid Sudoku

LeetCode: 36. Valid Sudoku

Determine if a 9x9 Sudoku board is valid. Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the following rules:

1. Each row must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
2. Each column must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
3. Each of the 9 3x3 sub-boxes of the grid must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.

就是判断数独是否合法，主要就是上面这三个原则。每行每列以及每3x3的小格子都不存在重复的数字。

思路

先判断9x9的格子每行每列是否重复。再判断每个3x3的小格子是否重复。算法没啥难度。主要是代码实现的一些小技巧。

Python 代码实现

    def isValidArray(self, array) -> bool:

        for a in array:
            if str(a) is not '.':
                if str(a) in keyMap:

                else:
                    keyMap.add(str(a))

            cols = [row[i] for row in board]
            validCol = self.isValidArray(cols)
            if validCol == False:
                allValid = False
                return allValid
        
        row = 0
        col = 0
        while row < 9 and col < 9:
            # 取3x3的小格子的方法
            partBoard = [i[col:col+3] for i in board[row:row+3]] 
            partBoardValid = self.isValidRect(partBoard)
            if partBoardValid == False:
                return False
            col+=3
            if col == 9:
                col = 0
                row+=3
        return True
