Hi,

I’m having issues getting my code to pass. From my research, I understand how .join() and adding the strings work but I’m still having trouble. Can someone help me figure this one out?

Thanks

Your code so far

class Board:
    def __init__(self, board):
        self.board = board

# User Editable Region

    def __str__(self):
        board_str = ''
        for row in self.board:
            row_str = ' '.join([str(i) if i else '*' for i in row])
            board_str += row_str

# User Editable Region

    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))

    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_no][col_no] == num:

        for guess in range(1, 10):
            if self.is_valid(next_empty, guess):
                row, col = next_empty
                self.board[row][col] = guess
                if self.solver():
                    return True
                self.board[row][col] = 0
        return False

def solve_sudoku(board):
    gameboard = Board(board)
    print(f'Puzzle to solve:\n{gameboard}')
    if gameboard.solver():
        print(f'Solved puzzle:\n{gameboard}')
    else:
        print('The provided puzzle is unsolvable.')
    return gameboard

puzzle = [

Basically, they are the same, but try to do the join on the second line instead of the first line.
