Sudoku-Generator

Does anybody know PL/SQL-code for generating Sudoku-puzzles?
Cheers,
Nuerni

Thanks for above links. But all seem to be solvers not generators - it's obvious that making sudoku puzzles is more complex than solving.
Another starting point would be migration from other code to PL/SQL...?! Any further ideas?

Sudoku generator problems(Stack overflow)

I've been having some troubles trying to implement a program that generates sudoku problems. It takes a complete puzzle and pulls out the first number and tries to solve it with any of the 8 other numbers and if it can't then that means removing that variable completely will still keep the uniqueness of the solution. Problem is, I'm getting some stack overflow errors while implementing this and I have no idea why. My code is as follows, where the method solve is a program I've already written that can solve any sudoku problem.
public int[][] generate(int [][] board) throws java.io.IOException {
          int oldValue;
          int[][] tempBoard = new int[9][9];
          for (int x = 0; x < 9; x++) {
               for (int y = 0; y < 9; y++) {
                    tempBoard[x][y] = board[x][y];
          for (int x = 0; x < 9; x++) {
               for (int y = 0; y < 9; y++) {
                    oldValue = board[x][y];
                    for (int z = 1; z <= 9; z++) {
                         if (z != oldValue) {
                              board[x][y] = z;
                              tempBoard = solve(tempBoard);
                              if (tempBoard != null) {
                                   board[x][y] = oldValue;
                                   break;
                              else {
                                   tempBoard = new int[9][9];
                                   for (int a = 0; a < 9; a++) {
                                        for (int b = 0; b < 9; b++) {
                                             tempBoard[a] = board[a][b];
                    board[x][y] = 0;
                    for (int c = 0; c < 9; c++) {
                         for (int d = 0; d < 9; d++) {
                              tempBoard[c][d] = board[c][d];
          return board;

Sudoku Algorithm

Hi, i was venturing out to design an algorithm to generate sudoku puzzles, I was thinking of emplying 2D Matrix arrays. The idea I have is filling up the whole grid first with a solution then taking away a few numbers. I don't really know how to do this, though I have an idea, getting it to check the rows and columns add up to 45 and each 3x3 grid adds up to 45, 45 being the sum of all the numbers in a 3x3 grid. Would anyone be able to tell me if this would work and how would I be able to program this in JAVA. Many thanks in advance.

And I need an algorithm to solve sudokupuzzles.
That's the hard part, at least if you want to solve
it without brute force.Indeed, I thought that only with brute force Sudoku can be solved.
Indeed, I don�t think that there is a "magic intelligent" algorithm that can solve it . Well, Sudoku is cool exactly because it can just be solved by brute force. LOL!!!!
Maybe some math genius person knows how to write an algorithm to solve Sudoku easily, or how to explain and prove mathematically that an algorithm to solve that is not possible.

Sudoku GUI

Hey am trying to create a GUI for my Sudoku board.
Here is how it currently looks: (See code below)
There are two things I wanna change
1. How do I center align the number so they are not stuck to the right edge as they are now?
2. How do I add a bolder line around blocks/boxes(e.g. the 3*3 sections). Im sure these are pretty easy but havent been able to figure it out as of yet!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1) Use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags when posting code so the code is readable
2) The code you posted isn't compileable or executable so we see exactly what you layout looks like
3) If you have a Grid type layout, then I would think a GridLayout would be more appropriate to use then the GridBagLayout. Read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use Layout Managers for more information.
How do I add a bolder line around blocks/boxes[url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/border.htmlHow to Use Borders[/url]
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

Cool n free sudoku - Sudokool

hi friends
I have developed a game in java which is based on the popular sudoku puzzles.
U can get the game at
http://www.koolpages.com/shiraz/Sudokool.zip
Now the problem is that the game runs only in windows.
The main game file is an executable jar file.So double click on the file opens the game.
But in linux the jar files gets opened and shows the archived class files.
So plz help me ,how can i make the game run in linux ?
I cannot use applet bcoz the game interacts with the local files for saving records.
Moreover the java files are not compiling in linux.
I have recently installed FC4.When i try to compile java files on terminal,it gives the following warning (where i use inheritance)
eg.
class now extends JFrame
$javac now.java
Warning: The serializable class now does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long
However the same file works perfectly well when run on Windows.The JVM on FC4 is 1.4.2 and even though i have installed the latest version of gcc(4.0.1)the problem still persists
Plz help me...

Have you thought about generating solutions?During my extensive mind travelling in the future I've noted that Sudoku has replaced the Eight Queen problem as next year's favourite homework assignment. This forum was completely flooded with queries from desperate newbies and only a heroic round-the-clock effort from all regulars could hold the reputation up of this forum as the number one homework cheating place. Thank you all for your future effort.

My sudoku program, any comments, improvements appreciated

Hi all,
So I've been refining my amateur-ish programming skills for around a month, and have been writing a C++ program that solves sudoku. (My background is in physics.) I realize there are a lot of mathematical sides in sudoku, but I'm concentrating on the programming side and not too much on the math/brain side. Now the program is basically finished (I hope!) and I just thought the hackers here can have a look and see if there are any things I can improve.
The link is here: http://ifile.it/jkr56v8/Sudoku.tar
Basically, a sudoku is an instance of Board, an abstract base class with the pure abstract function Go(). Any concrete class derived from it is essentially a strategy. I think this design pattern is called strategy?
I've implemented two basic strategies, BruteForce and Priority. BruteForce does the good old sudoku brute force algorithm, which use trial-and-error from the top left box to the bottom right box all possibilitiies until the correct one is found. Priority does basically the same as BruteForce, except instead of trying from top left to bottom right, it plugs numbers in the box that has the most filled "associated" boxes.
To accommodate "composite strategies," I implemented the prototype pattern, so for example, I can write
void HyperBF::Go(void)
BruteForce::Go();
When a solution is found, I throw an exception to notify the main program, am I correct in that this is a clear and elegant use? Or is it a misuse and an alternative should be considered?
To actually choose a strategy, I created an abstract factory, a singleton. I'm aware there are all the advice out there that says don't use a singleton unless absolutely necessary? So, should I use a singleton in this case? Also, I think my implementation of the singleton leads to a bug, which is the only known bug: when I put a completed sudoku as input, it gives the output as usual, but gives a segmentation fault afterwards:
./Sudoku Puzzle/test_1_Basic.psv BruteForce | tail -n 12 | head -n9 | tee completed

|9|6|1|7|5|4|8|2|3|
Number of attempts: 0.
Time elapsed: 0.00 s.
Segmentation fault
So what's wrong here?
Having implemented the basic functionalities, I tried to play around and gain some simple experience in some optimization. I looked at the Go() function and saw probably the expensive operation is IsConsistent(), so I optimized it by only checking the consistency of changed boxes. By doing so, I reduced the computational time to around 1/3 the original time. Is this the right move, or bad move, or are there better moves?
As a last question, I defined the number of attempts as a global variable. My reason is that, although it is possible to put it in class Board, I just think it doesn't "naturally belong" there, and putting it in a restricted scope would mean a lot of passing of parameters, slowing the program down unnecessarily. So, is this global variable fine?
Lastly, please have a look at my Makefile. This is the first Makefile I wrote, and it took me 3 solid days to get all the .o files in Release/ ! Are there things I've left out?
I realize the Generator is a joke, but at this moment I don't care too much about that, unless anyone has some good ideas.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Just looking over your code a little I have a couple of comments about your coding style. Please keep in mind that these are just comments...
I think you need to comment your code more. I know its a pain and I'm horrible about it as well but it really does help when/if you go back to read your code in a couple of years.
I try to avoid lines like these:
fprintf( stdout, "Starting configuration:\n" ); a->Write(stdout);
start = clock(); a->Go();
by putting two commands on one line it makes the code harder to read. with one command on each line I can quickly scan through and know
generally what each line does, with two I have to actually read each line fully so that I don't miss anything.
Descriptive variable names can also help with readability, I've always been taught the convention of using the first character to indicate type then
using a short descriptive name. For instance you have a function that returns a long value, the value would be decalred like this:
long lRetVal;
so looking through the code I would know thats a long value that represents a return value.
This is an area I'm all over the place with, I always try to stick to one convention but never seem manage it...
As far as your problem goes, where are the boards normally deleted? ie if an incomplete sudoku is inputed?
One possible solution is to run an IsComplete check before you start processing the board. so you would have...
if (a->IsConsistent()) {
if (a->IsComplete()) {
a->Go()
I'll be honest in that I don't really understand the flow of your code, but instead of having the board deleted within strategy or within win why not just delete it on the next line... eg:
start = clock(); a->Go();
delete a;
the downside to this approach is that you would have to delete it within each exception as well but this is relatively minor.
Cheers
Thanks for your comments. At my present level of programming skills, any comments will help.
I thought all my code was basically concise and self-explanatory, and each function is small enough that a quick skim through the definition and declaration would be enough to understand. As the project grew, however, things got slightly more complicated. I have added more comments in my source files, trying to comment why rather than how. I thought the flow of the code was fairly obvious though, by inspecting the main loop. It takes care of the input, bark if anything's wrong, trigger a.Go(), and try to catch a Win. Do you mean the flow within Go()? Anyway, it is very true I need clearer coding style.
Yeah I now solved the segfault problem. The reason a completed sudoku was deleted twice is because the original sudoku is meant to be deleted by the abstract factory, while the solved sudoku is meant to be deleted by Win. When a solved sudoku is inputted it would be deleted twice. Due to lack of programming experience, I failed to see the obvious way is to, as Grazz256 said, check in the beginning whether the inputted sudoku is already solved. If it is, then I duplicate the inputted sudoku and throw the win exception.
By the way, I think I'm beginning to understand why some people are obsessed wtih optimization. I did 3 optimization techniques in my program. First, I thought the most expensive procedure is the IsConsistent() method. By evaluating it lazily I reduced the time to 1/3 the original time. Then following http://www.acm.org/crossroads/xrds1-4/ovp.html, I used initialized the 2D vector within each sudoku via constructor rather than as statements. Doing so gave a 20% time boost. Using a friend procedure while copying sudokus boost another 5%. Doing a right move and getting positive feedback through better performance can be so satisfying.
EDIT:
I found out there was memory leak after all, which I finally solved.
What happens is with all my brute force algorithms I keep creating new Board's and call the Board's Go() recursively. To delete all Board's in the heap I need to have, within each Board::Go(), instead of
Board* a = Clone(); // return new derived Board(*this);
a->Put(x,y,'0'+k);
a->Go();
delete a; // if an exception is thrown this line never gets executed
this
Board* a = Clone();
a->Put(x,y,'0'+k);
try {a->Go(); }
catch( const Win& e) {
delete a;
throw(e);
delete a;
But this deletes the winning sudoku too. This means I have to keep the result in Win, either by duplicating the winning sudoku or storing the string. In the end I overloaded Board::Write(File* f) to also have Board::Write(std::string& p) to sprintf on the reference of a string, so Win just stores the solution in string format. Finally, no memory leak, no need to do a first check to see if the inputted sudoku is already solved, and no pointer deleted twice.
So in the end, to manage pointers I recursively threw exceptions. That made me ask, is using exceptions worth it, or should I stick to the more conventional methods, such as have Go() return a boolean value, then deleting pointers which would give an implementation that is essentially the same as recursive exceptions?
I still think exceptions is the way to go, the reasons being:
1) Exception mechanism provide a natural place to hold the result. Throwing exceptions recursively and the traditional way is essentially the same, but where should the result be stored in the latter case?
2) Arguing over the dictionary, an exception is not necessarily an "error." Winning is an exception in this algorithm, because failure is the norm (as in life).
3) Exception arguably gives better presentation in the main loop, to my "unbiased" eyes at least. Board* a->Go() is triggered in the try block in the main(), with all (foreseeable) possible results caught as exceptions. It is true that this might be a bit unconventional, but given proper comments I still think it is at least as good as the conventional way, in terms of presentation.
So what do you think?

Using SQVI to generate report of open and released delivery schedule lines

All,
I'm using SQVI to generate an excel spreadsheet for some buyers to show open released schedule lines because they are a 1 line item per scheduling agreement company.
I used the logical database MEPOLDB instead of a table joint and pulled fields from EKKO(vendor, SA #,&purchasing group), EKPO(Material Number), EKEH(schedule line type), and EKET(delivery date, scheduled qty,previous qty).
Does this sound like I'll get the results I want on paper as long as I use the right selection criteria, because the report I'm getting isn't quite what I expect? I am unable to identify which lines are authorized to ship vs. trade-off zone, planning, etc. in the report thus far.

Hi Mark,
I have faced same requirement. I am not sure about transporting to TST and PROD. I done by this way.
After generating SQVI program in DEV , I assigned that program to a transaction and tested in DEV. Later i have regenarated SQVI in Production. then I assigned the generated Program to same transaction in DEV. And transported the Tcode assignment of program to Production..
About authorization , if its not sensitive report, BASIS can restrict at transaction level.
Regards,
Ravi.

Error while generating a role

Hi SAP Techies,
I am getting the following error while generating a role,
"18 field value(s) for object K_CCA were not entered in the profile"
Can you please provide me a solution to fix this problem.
Thanks.
Regards,
Agustuss

How many cost centres are you putting in the role? Do you have cost centre set as an org level?
From your User Name I assume that you are at the BBC...Do you still use a program to populate the cost centres in the role based on the cost centre group names? If so it is possible that you are trying to put too many cost centres in the field and the the profile will not generate because of this (we had it back in 2001 when I was working there).
Do you have the technical error message details?

Credit memo generate in case of free goods

Dear Friends
one material price is rs450/- and with 5+1 when customer place order 5 pc that time system delivery 6 bec 1 is free. when customer return 1pc then what will be the credit memo pricing for each material.
Thanking you
Arun

Dear Friends
I am just clearly adding question with exact requirement.
material per pc 450/- and scheme is 5+1
order qty 5 Price is 450*5=2250
dlv qty 6
now client generate credit memo request for one pc in sap it is coming Rs450/- pc
but client requrement is not this
2250/6=Rs. 375/- that mean they will give rs 375/- per pc not Rs 450/- per pc. for that what should i do customisation for credit memo request pricing.
regards
arun

PXI 6070E, Unable to capture waveform on ACH0 while generating a wavefrm on DAC0

I'm trying to plot the sinewave being generated continuously (verified with a scope) by DAC0 that is wired to ACH0. All I get is noise. When I disconnect DAC0 (but leave it running) and connect an external function generator to ACH0, it plots just fine. Has anyone seen this problem?

Hello,
Have you tried changing the input mode? I'm not very sure what input mode you are using but I would recommend to use differential.
For troubleshooting bad readings, it is always advisable to read the signals from MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) first, and then use other programs like LabView, LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio.
If you want to use differential mode, here's how you would connect the signals: Connect DAC0 OUT to ACH0, and AOGND to ACH8.
Finally, here's a link to an interesting Knowledge Base: Data Acquisition: Troubleshooting Offset, Incorrect, and Noisy Readings
Good luc
k with your application!

Generate prov.xml for Creative Cloud. Return Code 27

We're trying to follow this guide (Creative Cloud Help | Using Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition) to serialize a package (or something). We're stuck on generating prov.xml. My best attempt at an entry is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\APTEE>adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx --regsuppress=ss --eulasuppress --locales=en_US --provfilepath=C:\Program Fil
es (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP
It says half of this is optional, but I'm skeptical.
Anyway, I'm getting return code 27. This indicates that it is unable to edit the prov.xml file specified. I didn't specify a prov.xml file, I'm trying to make one. The syntax I'm using differs from what I found on the page I linked, as that was giving me syntax errors. I lifted this off someone else's code. I've tried just about every variation I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.

Manage-bde command is not generating recovery key on network location

Hi,
I am trying to save the recovery key to the network share location and start up key in the USB drive while enabling bit locker.When the OS drive gets encrypted, the default folder for recovery password shows that it contains 1 file but not getting anything
inside it when i checked the properties of the folder.
i have already changed the group policy as "choose default folder for recovery password".
I am using the command to enable the bit-locker as "manage-bde.exe -on C: -rk
<network location to save recovery key> -sk <location of the USB drive>
-rp to enable the bit-locker. It is generating the start up key in the USB but not the recovery key on network share.
Can anyone suggest what i am missing or what else i should do to generate the recovery key on network share.
Does manage-bde process be able to save the recovery key on network share or it hand over to some other process to perform this task.
Thanks
Gaurav Ranjan

I got you Manoj, but I want to ask you one think that what if i lost the startup key or my USB stick. I have my recovery key on the network share. In order to log-in my machine I need the recovery password. From where i will get the recovery
password(48 digit). Surely from the recovery key on the network share. So how can i get the recovery password if only we have the recovery key.
I know both are different in context. Both are two different thing. I have lost my USB stick along with the recovery password and I have to log-in my machine. How can i do that i want to know that. Do there is any method to get recovery password from the
recovery key on network share. I have retrieved the recovery password when the recovery key in AD. But this time it is on network share.
Also one think which I need to solve is that the manage-bde -protectors -add command creates a new .bek file along with the older one. So the .bek file which get shown at the time of the start up of the machine is different from that stored in the network.
So i am getting confused as which .bek file is for which machine and hard to retrieve the password.
Is there any method to store recovery key on network without the -protectors -add command line so that both the .bek file should be matched and can easily be known for indiviual machine in an OU. As if both the .bek files will be different it would be difficult
to to retrieve the recovery password for the machines.
Please do inform if you need some more information about the scenario if i missed something.
Thanks

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger

Dynamic CRM 2013 Online how to execute Report, generate PDF and email

Dear All,
I am using Dynamic CRM 2013 online. For quote, I have workflow and Dialogue processes for review process. On approval, I want the system to generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer.
Better I would like, When approver, clicks on the approve button, the system should auto generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer, without any further input from the user. If its not possible, I may have to put button on
quote form.
I am using the attached code, but facing various issues.
1. Under prepare the SOAP Message coding part, I am not sure what should be the below URL for CRM 2013 Online?
xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
2. What should be the emailid here? Is it Recepient Contact id(Guid) ?
var emailid = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//CreateResult").nodeTypedValue;
alert("emailid" + emailid.toString());
3. Using this code, not able to create Entity for "ActivityMimeAttachment", I am getting newEntity as undefined.
Below is the code I am using. Please check and help me out, where I am going wrong. Let me know if any better way to implement it. At present, I have put one button on quote form, on click event, below code will get executed.
