Valid Sudoku
Problem statement
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
1-9without repetition. - Each column must contain the digits
1-9without repetition. - Each of the nine
3 x 3sub-boxes of the grid must contain the digits1-9without 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: falseExplanation: 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 == 9board[i].length == 9board[i][j]is a digit1-9or'.'.
My solution
/**
* @param {character[][]} board
* @return {boolean}
*/
var isValidSudoku = function(board) {
const memo = new Set();
for (let i = 0; i < board.length; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < board[0].length; j++) {
const value = board[i][j];
if (value === ".") {
continue;
}
const boxNum = 3 * Math.floor(i/3) + Math.floor(j/3)
let inRow = `row: ${i}, value: ${value}`;
let inCol = `col: ${j}, value: ${value}`;
let inSubBox = `subBox: ${boxNum}, value: ${value}`;
if (memo.has(inRow) || memo.has(inCol) || memo.has(inSubBox)) {
return false;
}
memo.add(inRow)
memo.add(inCol)
memo.add(inSubBox)
}
}
return true;
};
