I am fairly new to python.
I am trying to make a script that will read sudoku solutions and determent if they are correct or not.
Things I need:
1] Prompt the user to enter a file/file path which includes the sudoku numbers. Its a .txt file of 9 rows and columns. Consist only of numbers.
2] Have some kind of an error handling.
3] Then, if the sudoku is valid, i should create a new text file using the same format as the original input file with the prefix "Correct_"
I have not fully finished the program, but I get this error when I put a false path or file name.
Hello to Sudoku valitator,
Please type in the path to your file and press 'Enter': example.txt #This is a non existing file, to test the Error Exception
'Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/FEDROS/Desktop/bs.py", line 9, in <module>
sudoku = open(prompt, 'r').readlines()
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'example.txt'
Here is my script:
while True:
try:
prompt = input("\n Hello to Sudoku valitator,"
"\n \n Please type in the path to your file and press 'Enter': ")
break
except (FileNotFoundError, IOError):
print("Wrong file or file path")
sudoku = open(prompt, 'r').readlines()
def check(game):
n = len(game)
if n < (1):
return False
for i in range(0, n):
horizontal = []
vertical = []
for k in range(0, n):
if game[k][i] in vertical:
return ("File checked for errors. Your options are wrong!")
vertical.append(game[k][i])
if game[i][k] in horizontal:
return ("File checked for errors. Your options are wrong!")
horizontal.append(game[i][k])
return ("File checked for errors. Your options are correct!")
print (check(sudoku))
Thanks, any advice or help will be appreciated.
