Determine if a 9 x 9
Sudoku board is valid. Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the following rules:
- Each row must contain the digits
1-9
without repetition. - Each column must contain the digits
1-9
without repetition. - Each of the nine
3 x 3
sub-boxes of the grid must contain the digits1-9
without repetition.
Note:
- A Sudoku board (partially filled) could be valid but is not necessarily solvable.
- Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the mentioned rules.
Example 1:
Input: board =
[["5","3",".",".","7",".",".",".","."]
,["6",".",".","1","9","5",".",".","."]
,[".","9","8",".",".",".",".","6","."]
,["8",".",".",".","6",".",".",".","3"]
,["4",".",".","8",".","3",".",".","1"]
,["7",".",".",".","2",".",".",".","6"]
,[".","6",".",".",".",".","2","8","."]
,[".",".",".","4","1","9",".",".","5"]
,[".",".",".",".","8",".",".","7","9"]]
Output: true
Example 2:
Input: board =
[["8","3",".",".","7",".",".",".","."]
,["6",".",".","1","9","5",".",".","."]
,[".","9","8",".",".",".",".","6","."]
,["8",".",".",".","6",".",".",".","3"]
,["4",".",".","8",".","3",".",".","1"]
,["7",".",".",".","2",".",".",".","6"]
,[".","6",".",".",".",".","2","8","."]
,[".",".",".","4","1","9",".",".","5"]
,[".",".",".",".","8",".",".","7","9"]]
Output: false
Explanation: Same as Example 1, except with the 5 in the top left corner being modified to 8. Since there are two 8's in the top left 3x3 sub-box, it is invalid.
Constraints:
-
board.length == 9
-
board[i].length == 9
-
board[i][j]
is a digit1-9
or'.'
.
SOLUTION:
from collections import defaultdict
class Solution:
def isValidSudoku(self, board: List[List[str]]) -> bool:
n = 9
k = 3
rowseen = defaultdict(set)
colseen = defaultdict(set)
cellseen = defaultdict(set)
for i in range(n):
for j in range(n):
curr = board[i][j]
if curr != ".":
if curr in rowseen[i] or curr in colseen[j]:
return False
rowseen[i].add(curr)
colseen[j].add(curr)
cell = (i // k, j // k)
if curr in cellseen[cell]:
return False
cellseen[cell].add(curr)
return True
