Hey all,
I have recently been given the project of making a sudoku solver by my teacher.
I have written a sudoku checker before that generally checks if the sudoku is correct it works fine. But now ive been asked to create a solver, so ive done some reasearch and it shows that a Brute force algorithm is quite succesful but i think that is:
1) primitive
2) not logical
3) would not be efficent

So ive been wondering if anyone know any methods to do this.

I am just looking for ideas how to work it out.
Thanks

There's a book that has all the code available. Amazon.com: Programming Sudoku (Technology in Action) (9781590596623): Wei-Meng Lee: Books
