# Sudoku Solver

Solves Sudoku within seconds. The Sudoku can be given manually in the output screen or from a file. 

This package also contains [other functions](#other-useful-functions) on lists, that are useful to solve a Sudoku.

## Sudoku Format

Blank cells should be given as '-' and the number of characters should be 9. Press Enter after giving 9 characters, to enter the next row in Sudoku. If 9 characters are not given or the given characters are not unique, a warning will be given to re-enter the row.

Overall, the format of the Sudoku should be as follows:

        15-8--7-2
        -3--5----
        --72--5--
        -----1-9-
        -2--89---
        9-----18-
        36---2--4
        --4-6-9--
        -9-----61

## Functions

#### Main function:
- **solveSudoku** - Used to solve the Sudoku.
