Sudoku Solver

题目

Write a program to solve a Sudoku puzzle by filling the empty cells.

Empty cells are indicated by the character '.'.

You may assume that there will be only one unique solution.

A sudoku puzzle...

...and its solution numbers marked in red.

方法

典型的回溯法解决数独问题。使用递归来求解。

	private boolean isValidSudoku(char[][] board, int row, int col) {
		int len = 9;
		for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
			if (i != row) {
				if (board[row][col] == board[i][col]) {
					return false;
				}
			}
		}
		for (int j = 0; j < len; j++) {
			if (j != col) {
				if (board[row][col] == board[row][j]) {
					return false;
				}
			}
		}
		int curRowStart = (row / 3) * 3;
		int curColStart = (col / 3) * 3;
		
		for (int i = curRowStart; i < curRowStart + 3; i++) {
			for (int j = curColStart; j < curColStart + 3; j++) {
				if (!(i == row && j == col)) {
					if (board[i][j] == board[row][col]) {
						return false;
					}
				}
			}
		}
		return true;
	}

        		if (board[i][j] == '.') {
        			
        			for (int k = 0; k < len; k++) {
