题目描述
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.
解题思路
Sudoku规则,在一个9*9的区域内:
- 每行1-9出现且只出现一次;
- 每列1-9出现且只出现一次;
- 在9个子3*3的区域内1-9出现且只出现一次。
因此,只需按上述规则判定每个有数字的格子是否合法即可。
代码
public boolean isValidSudoku(char[][] board) {
for (int i = 0; i < board.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < board[0].length; j++) {
if (board[i][j] != '.') {
if (!isValid(board, i, j)) {
return false;
}
}
}
}
return true;
}
public boolean isValid(char[][] board, int row, int column) {
int cellStartX = (row / 3) * 3;
int cellStartY = (column / 3) * 3;
char c = board[row][column];
for (int i = 0; i < board.length; i++) {
if (i != row && board[i][column] == c) {
return false;
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < board[0].length; i++) {
if (i != column && board[row][i] == c) {
return false;
}
}
for (int i = cellStartX; i < cellStartX + 3; i++) {
for (int j = cellStartY; j < cellStartY + 3; j++) {
if (i != row && j != column && board[i][j] == c)
return false;
}
}
return true;
