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.
Sudoku的要求有三条:每行的数只出现一次,每列的数只出现一次,每个九宫格数只出现一次。
所以我们要验证这三个条件逐个遍历一遍。
The rules for Sudoku is number from 1-9 appear only once in every row and column. number from 1-9 only appear once in a 3x3 grid.
The time complexity is O(3*n^2 )
class Solution:
# @param board, a 9x9 2D array
# @return a boolean
def valid(self,x,y,tmp,board):
for i in range(9):
if board[i][y]==tmp:
return False
for j in range(9):
if board[x][j]==tmp:
return False
for i in range(3):
for j in range(3):
if board[(x/3)*3+i][(y/3)*3+j]==tmp:
return False
return True
def isValidSudoku(self, board):
for i in range(9):
for j in range(9):
if board[i][j]=='.':
continue
tmp=board[i][j]
board[i][j]='D'
if self.valid(i,j,tmp,board)==False:
return False
else:
board[i][j]=tmp
return True
