Hi !! all. I am trying to create a Visual Basic Program for solving any SUDOKU number puzzle. In such puzzels, there is 9 x 9 blocks grid divided into 9 blocks of 3 x 3. In solving the puzzle, care is taken so that there are all the digits from 1 to 9 in each row or column. Anyone who can help me regarding it would get a free executable file of the SUDOKU solvable puzzle. Thanx in advance........Cheerio.

I suspect you can only do that directly in VB, or any other language of that type, by heuristic methods (aka brute force and ignorance)- trying every possible route to a solution.
The way to solve Sudoku efficiently is probably with a neural network. Can you emulate a neural network in VB?

Plenty of such programs on the internet already.
It's pretty simple to solve. For each field, declare an array filled with 1-9. Replace them with zeroes, using simple rules, using the squares with only one digit in them as a check value for all other squares in horizontal, vertical bars, and 3x3 squares. After a couple of such iterations, you will see that your puzzle is solved, well before you can lift your finger from the start button.
More fun to write a program that *creates* solvable SUDOKU's.
