Backtracking sudoku solver

sudoslv

Sudoku solver using backtracking in C. Created to practice some C programming before I take 61C at Berkeley. Sorry for the lame project... this was all I could think of for the time being. I used pointers intentionally to get a feel of pointer concepts better in terms of array manipulation.

Getting Started

Run the following command to clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/kyuds/sudoslv.git

Use the included MakeFile (run make in terminal) to compile the program. Please note that for the sake of practice, the solving algorithm was separated into a different header file. For short enough programs, this is not necessary. To run the actual executable, run ./sudoku.

Sample taken from sudoku.com/hard, tested on Mac OS (UNIX).
