Hey guys, I made this Sudoku Solver and....... its not working. When I enter a proper Sudoku, It displays 9, and then all the other boxes are blanks.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() { //Initiallizing the variables variable [row-i] [column-j] [possibility-k]
int board[9][9][10];
int x, y, n, z;
//Initiallizing the board
for (int i=0;i<9;i++) {
for (int j=0;j<9;j++) {
for (int k=0;k<10;k++) {
board[i][j][k] = k;
}
}
}
//In the array k[x][y][z], z is the possibles values of the square. We take k[x][y][0] as the entered
//number. If k[x][y][0] == 0, then its a blank.
//Getting the numbers
cout<<"Enter 0 for a blank in the Sudoku "<<endl<<endl;
for ( x = 0; x < 9; x++ ) {
for ( y = 0; y < 9; y++ ) {
do {
cout<<"Enter the value of square number "<<x + 1<<" , "<<y + 1<<" : ";
cin>>board[x][y][0];
} while (board[x][y][0]>10 );
}
}
//Seting all extra variables to zero and defining a few new ones that will be used later.
x = 0;
y = 0;
n = 0;
// k = 0;
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
int size = 0;
int o;
int count1, count2;
int temp;
int q,k,l;
//ALGORITHIM BEGINS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
