Next, you're going to create a method that checks if a number can be inserted in a specified column of the sudoku board by checking if the number is not already present in that column.
Within the Board class, create a method named valid_in_col and give it three parameters: self, col and num.
Where col and num are the column index and the number to be checked, respectively.
You should create a new method named valid_in_col within the Board class.
({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).find_class("Board").has_function("valid_in_col")`)) })
Your valid_in_col method should have three parameters: self, col, and num, in this order.
({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).find_class("Board").find_function("valid_in_col").has_args("self, col, num")`)) })
class Board:
def __init__(self, board):
self.board = board
def find_empty_cell(self):
for row, contents in enumerate(self.board):
try:
col = contents.index(0)
return row, col
except ValueError:
pass
return None
def valid_in_row(self, row, num):
return num not in self.board[row]
