Question

I am trying to read a soduku file. Can somebody help me how to create a main routine with atleast a one subroutine to validate a set of nine values?

Validating for each of the 9 columns, for each of the 9 rows as well as for each of the 9 3x3 block to see if they contain same numbers (excluding a zero, since it is reserve for a blank square.)

The subroutine must return a validity indicator either with a traditional return or as a value in the structure and it must accept as input either an array of nine values or a pointer to a structure containing to an array of nine values.

Any help will be appreciated.

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks

hope this will get you started

#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int checkValues(int[],int[]);
int main()
{int numbersNeed[9]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
int numbersHave[9]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
int numbersHave2[9]={1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8};
if(checkValues(numbersNeed,numbersHave)==1)
    printf("1st comparison they are good ");
else
    printf("1st comparison they are bad ");
if(checkValues(numbersNeed,numbersHave2)==1)
    printf("2nd comparison they are good ");
else
    printf("2nd comparison they are bad ");
getch();
return 0;
}
int checkValues(int need[],int have[])
{int used[9],i,j;
for(i=0;i<9;i++)
     used[i]=0;
for(i=0;i<9;i++)
    for(j=0;j<9;j++)
         if(have[i]==need[j])
              {used[j]=1;
               j=10;
               }
for(i=0;i<9;i++)
    if(used[i]==0)
         return 0;
return 1;
}
