Determine if a 9x9 Sudoku board is valid. Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the following rules:

  • Each row must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
  • Each column must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
  • Each of the 9 3x3 sub-boxes of the grid must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.

A partially filled sudoku which is valid.

The Sudoku board could be partially filled, where empty cells are filled with the character '.'.

Example 1:

Input:
[
  ["5","3",".",".","7",".",".",".","."],
  ["6",".",".","1","9","5",".",".","."],
  [".","9","8",".",".",".",".","6","."],
  ["8",".",".",".","6",".",".",".","3"],
  ["4",".",".","8",".","3",".",".","1"],
  ["7",".",".",".","2",".",".",".","6"],
  [".","6",".",".",".",".","2","8","."],
  [".",".",".","4","1","9",".",".","5"],
  [".",".",".",".","8",".",".","7","9"]
]
Output: true

Example 2:

Input:
[
  ["8","3",".",".","7",".",".",".","."],
  ["6",".",".","1","9","5",".",".","."],
  [".","9","8",".",".",".",".","6","."],
  ["8",".",".",".","6",".",".",".","3"],
  ["4",".",".","8",".","3",".",".","1"],
  ["7",".",".",".","2",".",".",".","6"],
  [".","6",".",".",".",".","2","8","."],
  [".",".",".","4","1","9",".",".","5"],
  [".",".",".",".","8",".",".","7","9"]
]
Output: false
Explanation: Same as Example 1, except with the 5 in the top left corner being 
    modified to 8. Since there are two 8's in the top left 3x3 sub-box, it is invalid.

Note:

  • A Sudoku board (partially filled) could be valid but is not necessarily solvable.
  • Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the mentioned rules.
  • The given board contain only digits 1-9 and the character '.'.
  • The given board size is always 9x9.

Solution:

import "fmt"
func isValidSudoku(board [][]byte) bool {
  m := make(map[string]bool)
  for i := 0; i < 9; i++ {
    for j := 0; j < 9; j++ {
      if board[i][j] != '.' {
        tag := fmt.Sprintf("(%c)", board[i][j])
        r, c, rc := fmt.Sprintf("%d%s", i, tag), fmt.Sprintf("%s%d", tag, j), fmt.Sprintf("%d%s%d", i / 3, tag, j / 3)
        if m[r] || m[c] || m[rc] {
          return false
        }
        m[r], m[c], m[rc] = true, true, true
      }
    }
  }

  return true
}
