sudoku-solver's Introduction

A Sudoku Solver in Python

I wrote this sudoku solver after learning about Python generator expressions and the magical eval() function in Peter Norvig's wonderful Udacity course. That said, I haven't been able to bring myself to look at his sudoku solver yet, since it will likely be a thing of great elegance that will make my version look terrible :-(

Usage

python sudoku.py input_filename.txt

input_filename.txt has the puzzle that needs to be solved.

  • one line for each row of the puzzle
  • zeros for blank cells
  • cells separated by spaces

(It may be easier to just copy the file 'puzzle.txt' from the repo and modify it)

Example

Let's say the puzzle you want to solve is in puzzle.txt

cat puzzle.txt

5 0 0 2 0 0 0 8 0
8 0 0 1 0 5 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3
4 2 6 9 0 0 0 5 0
0 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 6
7 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 3 0 8 2 0
0 0 0 4 2 0 0 0 1
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 7 0

To solve it:

python sudoku.py puzzle.txt

Output

5 6 4 2 7 3 1 8 9
8 3 9 1 6 5 7 4 2
1 7 2 8 9 4 5 6 3
4 2 6 9 1 8 3 5 7
3 9 8 7 5 2 4 1 6
7 5 1 3 4 6 2 9 8
9 4 7 6 3 1 8 2 5
6 8 5 4 2 7 9 3 1
2 1 3 5 8 9 6 7 4
