You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Solve a partially filled-in normal 9x9 Sudoku grid and display the result in a human-readable format. Algorithmics of Sudoku may help implement this.
ALGOL 68
Note: This specimen retains the original D coding style.
<lang algol68>MODE AVAIL = [9]BOOL; MODE BOX = [3, 3]CHAR;
FORMAT row fmt = $"|"3(" "3(g" ")"|")l$; FORMAT line = $"+"3(7"-","+")l$; FORMAT puzzle fmt = $f(line)3(3(f(row fmt))f(line))$;
AVAIL gen full = (TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE);
OP REPR = (AVAIL avail)STRING: (
STRING out := ""; FOR i FROM LWB avail TO UPB avail DO IF avail[i] THEN out +:= REPR(ABS "0" + i) FI OD; out
);
CHAR empty = "_";
OP -:= = (REF AVAIL set, CHAR index)VOID: (
set[ABS index - ABS "0"]:=FALSE
);
- these two functions assume that the number has not already been found #
PROC avail slice = (REF[]CHAR slice, REF AVAIL available)REF AVAIL:(
FOR ele FROM LWB slice TO UPB slice DO IF slice[ele] /= empty THEN available-:=slice[ele] FI OD; available
);
PROC avail box = (INT x, y, REF AVAIL available)REF AVAIL:(
# x designates row, y designates column # # get a base index for the boxes # INT bx := x - (x-1) MOD 3; INT by := y - (y-1) MOD 3; REF BOX box = puzzle[bx:bx+2, by:by+2]; FOR i FROM LWB box TO UPB box DO FOR j FROM 2 LWB box TO 2 UPB box DO IF box[i, j] /= empty THEN available-:=box[i, j] FI OD OD; available
);
[9, 9]CHAR puzzle; PROC solve = ([,]CHAR in puzzle)VOID:(
puzzle := in puzzle; TO UPB puzzle UP 2 DO BOOL done := TRUE; FOR i FROM LWB puzzle TO UPB puzzle DO FOR j FROM 2 LWB puzzle TO 2 UPB puzzle DO CHAR ele := puzzle[i, j]; IF ele = empty THEN # poke at the elements that are "_" # AVAIL remaining := avail box(i, j, avail slice(puzzle[i, ], avail slice(puzzle[, j], LOC AVAIL := gen full))); STRING s = REPR remaining; IF UPB s = 1 THEN puzzle[i, j] := s[LWB s] ELSE done := FALSE FI FI OD OD; IF done THEN break FI OD;
break:
# write out completed puzzle # printf(($gl$, "Completed puzzle:")); printf((puzzle fmt, puzzle))
); main:(

// This is a really naive program to solve Su Doku problems. Even so it is usually quite fast.
// SuDoku consists of a 9x9 grid of cells. Each cell should contain // a digit in the range 1..9. Every row, column and major 3x3 // square should contain all the digits 1..9. Some cells have // given values. The problem is to find digits to place in // the unspecified cells satisfying the constraints.
// A typical problem is:
// - - - 6 3 8 - - - // 7 - 6 - - - 3 - 5 // - 1 - - - - - 4 -
// - - 8 7 1 2 4 - - // - 9 - - - - - 5 - // - - 2 5 6 9 1 - -
// - 3 - - - - - 1 - // 1 - 5 - - - 6 - 8 // - - - 1 8 4 - - -

-export( [display/1, start/1, solve/1, task/0] ).

This implementation uses a brute force method. The subroutine solve
recursively checks valid entries using the rules defined in the function is_safe
. When solve
is called beyond the end of the sudoku, we know that all the currently entered values are valid. Then the result is displayed.

MATLAB
This solution impliments a recursive, depth-first search of the possible values unfilled sudoku cells can take. The search tree is pruned using logical deduction rules and takes about a minute to solve some of the more difficult puzzles. This code can be cleaned by making the main code blocks, denoted by "%% [Block Title]," into their own separate functions. This can also be further improved by implementing a Sudoku class and making this solver a member function. There are also several lines of code that can be vectorized to improve efficiency, but at the expense of readability.
For this to work, this code must be placed in a file named "sudokuSolver.m" <lang MATLAB>function solution = sudokuSolver(sudokuGrid)

REXX
The $SUDOKU REXX program is included here ──► $SUDOKU.REX.
The help for the $SUDOKU.REX REXX program is included here ──► $SUDOKU.HEL.
The REXX program was originally written to assist in sudoku puzzle solving, not to solve the puzzle outright.
The REXX code was written to give hints and also show the possibilities (of what is possible solution for any cell),
and to partially solve the puzzle using distinct strategies (separately or in combination).
The $SUDOKU.REX REXX program makes use of $T.REX REXX program which is used to display text and/or write the text to a file.
The $T.REX REXX program is included here ──► $T.REX.
The $SUDOKU.REX REXX program makes use of $ERR REXX program which is used to display error messages (via $T).
The $ERR.REX REXX program is included here ──► $ERR.REX.
Some older REXXes don't have a changestr BIF, so one is included here ──► CHANGESTR.REX.
REXX programs not included are $H which shows help and other documentation.

This is a back-tracking solver written in RPN for the HP-15C calculator. It is highly optimized for size, rather than speed, as the target platform only has 448 bytes of memory for code and data combined.

Scala
I use the following slightly modified code for creating new sudokus and it seems to me usable for solving given sudokus. It doesn't look like elegant and functional programming - so what! it works! This solver works with normally 9x9 sudokus as well as with sudokus of jigsaw type or sudokus with additional condition like diagonal constraint.

- SudokuSolver inherits from Sudoku, and adds the ability to filter
- possibilities for a square by looking at all the squares in the row, column,
- and region that the square is a part of. The method 'solve' contains a list
- of rule-objects to use, and iterates over each square on the board, applying
- each rule sequentially until the square is allocated.
oo::class create SudokuSolver {
superclass Sudoku method validchoices {x y} {
if {[my get $x $y] ne {}} { return [my get $x $y] }
set row [my getRow $x $y] set col [my getCol $x $y] set regn [my getRegion $x $y] set eliminate [list {*}$row {*}$col {*}$regn] set eliminate [lsearch -all -inline -not $eliminate {}] set eliminate [lsort -unique $eliminate]
set choices {} for {set c 1} {$c < 10} {incr c} { if {$c ni $eliminate} { lappend choices $c } } if {[llength $choices]==0} { error "No choices left for square $x,$y" } return $choices
} method completion {} {
return [expr { 81-[llength [lsearch -all -inline [join [my dump]] {}]] }]
} method solve {} {
foreach ruleClass [info class subclass Rule] { lappend rules [$ruleClass new] }
while {1} { set begin [my completion] for {set y 0} {$y < 9} {incr y} { for {set x 0} {$x < 9} {incr x} { if {[my get $x $y] eq ""} { foreach rule $rules { set c [$rule solve [self] $x $y] if {$c} { my set $x $y $c my Log "[info object class $rule] solved [self] at $x,$y for $c" break } } } } } set end [my completion] if {$end==81} { my Log "Finished solving!" break } elseif {$begin==$end} { my Log "A round finished without solving any squares, giving up." break } } foreach rule $rules { $rule destroy }

- Rule is the template for the rules used in Solver. The other rule-objects
- apply their logic to the values passed in and return either '0' or a number
- to allocate to the requested square.
oo::class create Rule {
method solve {hSudoku x y} {
if {![info object isa typeof $hSudoku SudokuSolver]} { error "hSudoku must be an instance of class SudokuSolver." }
tailcall my Solve $hSudoku $x $y [$hSudoku validchoices $x $y]
}
}
- Get all the allocated numbers for each square in the the row, column, and
- region containing $x,$y. If there is only one unallocated number among all
- three groups, it must be allocated at $x,$y
oo::class create RuleOnlyChoice {
superclass Rule method Solve {hSudoku x y choices} {
if {[llength $choices]==1} { return $choices } else { return 0 }
}
}
- Test each column to determine if $choice is an invalid choice for all other
- columns in row $X. If it is, it must only go in square $x,$y.
oo::class create RuleColumnChoice {
superclass Rule method Solve {hSudoku x y choices} {
foreach choice $choices { set failed 0 for {set x2 0} {$x2<9} {incr x2} { if {$x2 != $x && $choice in [$hSudoku validchoices $x2 $y]} { set failed 1 break } } if {!$failed} {return $choice} } return 0
}
}
- Test each row to determine if $choice is an invalid choice for all other
- rows in column $y. If it is, it must only go in square $x,$y.

}
}
- Test each square in the region occupied by $x,$y to determine if $choice is
- an invalid choice for all other squares in that region. If it is, it must
- only go in square $x,$y.
oo::class create RuleRegionChoice {
superclass Rule method Solve {hSudoku x y choices} {

If we'd added a logger method (after creating the sudoku
object but before running the solver) like this:
<lang tcl>oo::objdefine sudoku method Log msg {puts $msg}</lang>
Then this additional logging output would have been produced prior to the result being printed:
