A cool algorithm to check a Sudoku field?

Question

Does anyone know a simple algorithm to check if a Sudoku-Configuration is valid? The simplest algorithm I came up with is (for a board of size n) in Pseudocode

f         


        

Answer 1

def solution(board):
    for i in board:
        if sum(i) != 45:
            return "Incorrect"

    for i in range(9):
        temp2 = []
        for x in range(9):
            temp2.append(board[i][x])

        if sum(temp2) != 45:
            return "Incorrect"

    return "Correct"

board = []
for i in range(9):
    inp = raw_input()
    temp = [int(i) for i in inp]
    board.append(temp)

print solution(board)
