[LeetCode] Valid Sudoku

문제

Determine if a 9x9 Sudoku board is valid. Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the following rules:

1. Each row must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
2. Each column must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
3. Each of the 9 3x3 sub-boxes of the grid must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.

A partially filled sudoku which is valid.

The Sudoku board could be partially filled, where empty cells are filled with the character '.'.

Example 1:

Input: [ ["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: [   ["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.

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.
• The given board contain only digits 1-9 and the character '.'.
• The given board size is always 9x9.

 

Approach

스도쿠판에서 각 열마다 겹치는 숫자가 있는지, 행마다 겹치는 숫자가 있는지, 3*3칸마다 겹치는 숫자가 있는지 확인한다.

이 때 숫자 확인을 위한 자료구조로 map, set등을 활용하면 된다.

이런 자료구조가 있는지를 아는게 중요한 문제인듯.
