About this Guided Project

Learn step-by-step

In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:

  1. you will be able to define the idea of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem. You will identify the constraints of the Sudoku game and how humans play the sudoku game.

  2. You will be able to identify the idea of the Backtracking algorithm, and define how artificial intelligence uses Backtracking to solve the sudoku game.

  3. you will be able to use Python code to implement the initial structure of the Sudoku game. You will be able to implement three of four constraints of the Sudoku game.

  4. you will be able to use Python to implement the fourth rule of the Sudoku game. You will also identify how to move between cells in the Sudoku game.

  5. you will be able to use Python to implement the method that obtains the candidate solutions that do not violate the four constraints of the Sudoku game for any given cell.

  6. you will be able to define the difference between the assignment and deep copy in Python programming language. You will implement the recursive algorithm.

  7. you will be able to implement the Backtracking algorithm using recursion and will be able to define how the Backtracking algorithm can be used to solve the Sudoku game problem.

Recommended experience

Learners should have basic python experience (Lists - Dictionaries - Functions - For Loop)
