hello, I'm fairly new to python programming and I need help as I watched this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK4N8E6uNr4) to create a sudoku solver. I've copied the code from it and the solver doesn't work. please can anyone help?

'1' is not 1. You make a board of str but your solver expects numbers. I would change the board to hold numbers.

Sudoku is solved by deduction. That is removing all wrong answers leaves only the right answer. Here's one way to go about it:

test_numbers = [str (x) for x in range (1, 10, 1)]
# Test across
for number in sudoku_board [row] :
if number in test_numbers :
test_numbers.remove (number)
# Test down
for test_row in sudoku_board :
if test_row [column] in test_numbers :
test_numbers.remove (test_row [column])
# Test square
r_start = (row // 3) * 3
r_end = r_start + 3
c_start = (column // 3) * 3
c_end = c_start + 3
for square_row in range (r_start, r_end, 1) :
for square_column in range (c_start, c_end, 1) :
number = sudoku_board [square_row] [square_column]
if number in test_numbers :
test_numbers.remove (number)
# If only one number is left, then that goes here
if len (test_numbers) == 1 :
sudoku_board [row] [column] = test_numbers [0]
print_board (sudoku_board)

Tool1211's solution was mostly right. The problem was the solution was using numbers to fill the board spots, but the board was constructed using strings to fill the spots. As I mentioned in my reply, I would initialize the board with numbers like this.
sudoku2 = [
[0,0,0,3,0,0,0,7,0],
[7,3,4,0,8,0,1,6,2],
[2,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,8],
[5,6,8,0,0,4,0,1,0],
[0,0,2,1,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,7,8,0,0,2,5,4],
[0,7,0,0,0,2,8,9,0],
[0,5,1,4,0,0,7,2,6],
[9,0,6,0,0,0,0,4,5]
]Not only is this a lot less typing to enter a board, but it prints prettier using (mostly) the same board print function.
Output: [6, 8, 5] | [3, 2, 1] | [4, 7, 9]
[7, 3, 4] | [9, 8, 5] | [1, 6, 2]
[2, 1, 9] | [6, 4, 7] | [5, 3, 8]
---------------------------------
[5, 6, 8] | [2, 7, 4] | [9, 1, 3]
[3, 4, 2] | [1, 5, 9] | [6, 8, 7]
[1, 9, 7] | [8, 3, 6] | [2, 5, 4]
---------------------------------
[4, 7, 3] | [5, 6, 2] | [8, 9, 1]
[8, 5, 1] | [4, 9, 3] | [7, 2, 6]
[9, 2, 6] | [7, 1, 8] | [3, 4, 5]
Other than changing the board to initially contain numbers I think everything else works.
The code should be reorganized. All the functions should appear near the top and the only thing below if __name__ == '__main__': should be the code to run the solver. The program could also do with better variable names. "i" and "j" should almost never be used together. What do you think this is, basic? My version of Tool1211's code is below. I think all I changed was the board initialization and some variable names, reorganized the code layout, and added some better comments and docstrings.

I don't know what it is that I like about Sudoku solvers. Maybe it's that they appear complex but are really quite simple. Here's a version that works with strings instead of numbers To highlight that I am using A-I instead of 1-9 for possible cell values. The solver uses a SudokuBoard class that handles things like printing the board and maintaining the cell values. It is a bit more efficient than the solver in the original post in that it only attempts available values in each cell instead of trying every value.
