I wanted to write a sudoku solver from a very long time. I had over estimated the problem; rather the solution, to a very great extent. It was sattvik who helped me to come out of that feeling. His words, 'simple validation and backtracking will do the job' made me think for sometime and i got the solution. I was really happy once i completed writing the code. started at 1 in the noon. At 5:30, i had something which could be compiled, but it didn't work as usual :P. debugged it till 8:30 to get the code working. :-)
Download the source code.. (Right click and say 'save link as')
And ya. this code is released under gplv3 ;-) Any ideas to improve the code is always welcome :-)

Hi Krishna,
Had seen the code of your solver before you posted here, when you had mailed me. Great code!!! It has good performance too.
I happy to see the code under GPL 3, if possible please put this in the beginning of the file,

Also the cpp file link you have given to redirects here to an unformatted copy. Check out what the problem may be.
Ya sure.
I'll do that :-). The file opens in the browser itself. it can be avoided by a right click and save link as option. that solves the problem. Thanks.
