Learn Classes and Objects by Building a Sudoku Solver - Step 41

Tell us what’s happening:

me again…I am sorry…
it says ‘Now, check if the given number num is already present in the current cell of the 3x3 square’
the current cell of the 3x3 square are made by the row_start and col_start variables? Am I wrong? :frowning:

Your code so far

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]

    def valid_in_col(self, col, num):
        return all(self.board[row][col] != num for row in range(9))

# User Editable Region

    def valid_in_square(self, row, col, num):
        row_start = (row // 3) * 3
        col_start = (col // 3) * 3
        for row_no in range(row_start, row_start + 3):
            for col_no in range(col_start, col_start + 3):
              if self.board[row_start][col_start] == num:
                return False

# User Editable Region

puzzle = [
  [0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 8, 0, 0, 0],
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 7, 6, 2],
  [4, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0, 0],
  [0, 5, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 9, 0],
  [0, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 6],
  [0, 0, 0, 4, 6, 7, 0, 0, 0],
  [0, 8, 6, 7, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0],
  [0, 0, 0, 5, 1, 9, 0, 0, 8],
