我一直试图在Sudoku回溯解算器中弄清楚我的错误三天。问题来自leetcode Sudoku Solver。
我的解算器基于附图中的推论。问题是即使从root到leaf的路径无效,我的主板也会被更改。
换句话说,在经过无效路径后,它尝试的值将固定在我的原始板上。但是,我只更新我的原始板,当它的子节点返回true时(请参阅辅助方法中的部分://输入数字并生成子节点)。
基本上,对于每个',我生成从1到9的所有可能性,构建一个填充当前的临时板。'有一种可能性,然后打电话给下一个'。'临时板。我知道因为空间成本而为每个可能的孩子存储相同尺寸的boardTemp并不好,但我现在主要关心的是在优化成本之前先解决问题。
总而言之,即使所有孩子都无效,为什么我的董事会会改变?
例如,基于初始板
... 9748 ...; 7 ........; .2.1.9 ...;
.. 7 ... 24 .; .64.1.59; 0.98 ... 3 ..;
... 8.3.2 .; ........ 6; ... 2759 ..;
我跑完后得到了最后的结果:
139748652; 745326189; 826159437;
35769.24 .; .64.1.59; 0.98 ... 3 ..;
... 8.3.2 .; ........ 6; ... 2759 ..;

答案 0 :(得分:4)
使用boardTemp
和board
之间没有区别。 char[][] boardTemp = board
表示他们指向相同的记忆...您在原始代码中遗漏的是您输入无效数字后的else
部分:
for (char put = '1' ; put <= '9' ; put ++) {
if (isValid(row, col, board, put)) {
char[][] boardTemp = board; // board and boardTemp are essentially the same thing
boardTemp[row][col] = put;
boolean valid = helper(nextRow, nextCol, boardTemp);
if (valid) {
// board is supposed to change only when valid is true.
board[row][col] = put;
return true;
}
// THIS IS WHAT YOU MISSED!!
// if you don't reset the '.' back, your later backtrack will not work
// because you put an invalid number on your board and you will never find a solution
boardTemp[row][col] = '.';
}
