  2. iterations : “number of times puzzle is re visited”

  3. guesses : “number of places where it had to guess”

Example

To solve this sudoku

Input has to be:

[[0,2,4,0],[1,0,0,3],[4,0,0,2],[0,1,3,0]]

As python language is case sensitive,you have to import kudoSudoku,not kudosudoku.

from kudoSudoku import sudoku
puzzle = [[0,2,4,0],[1,0,0,3],[4,0,0,2],[0,1,3,0]]
table = sudoku(puzzle)
result = table.solve()
print(result)

Output:

{'done': True, 'iterations': 2, 'guesses': 0, 'timeTaken': 0.0013199988754573474, 'solution': [[3, 2, 4, 1], [1, 4, 2, 3], [4, 3, 1, 2], [2, 1, 3, 4]]}

2X2 sudoku is taken just to demonstrate. It works for any nxn sudoku
