Simple for loop question

I"m making a sudoku solver in python.

Here's my code:

from numpy import *
def isValid(grid):
count = 0
for x in range(0,9):
for y in range(0,9):
if grid[x][y] == 0:
# tell it to skip rest of code in function and keep going through for loop
a, b = x, y
x = 0
for i in range(0,9):
if grid[a][b] == grid[x+i][b]:
count += 1
if count != 1:
return 2
count = 0
return 1
def isDone(grid):
total = 0
for r in range(0,9):
for c in range(0,9):
total += grid[r][c]
if total != 45:
return 2
total = 0
for c in range(0,9):
for r in range(0,9):
total += grid[r][c]
if total != 45:
return 2
total = 0
x, y = 1, 1
for a in range(0,9):
if y == 10:
y = 1
x += 3
total += grid[x][y]+grid[x-1][y-1]+grid[x-1][y]+grid[x-1][y+1]+grid[x][y-1]+grid[x][y+1]+grid[x+1][y-1]+grid[x+1][y]+grid[x+1][y+1]
if total != 45:
return 2
y += 3
total = 0
return 1
def solve(grid):
if isValid(grid) == 2:
return 2
if isDone(grid) == 1:
return 1
for i in range(0,9):
for j in range(0,9):
if grid[i][j] == 0:
for g in range(1,10):
grid[i][j] = g
if solve(grid) == 1:
return 1
grid[i][j] = 0
return 2
def display(g):
for i in range(0,9):
print str(g[i][0])+" "+str(g[i][1])+" "+str(g[i][2])+" "+str(g[i][3])+" "+str(g[i][4])+" "+str(g[i][5])+ " "+str(g[i][6])+" "+str(g[i][7])+" "+str(g[i][8])
grid = arange(81).reshape(9,9)
print "Time to input the grid! Input 0 for blank space."
# ENTER YOUR SUDOKU PUZZLE GRID HERE: #
# USE ZEROES FOR BLANK SPACES #
# A SAMPLE PUZZLE IS GIVEN: #
grid = [ [5,3,4,6,7,8,9,1,2],
[6,7,2,1,9,5,3,4,8],
[1,9,8,3,4,2,5,6,7],
[8,0,0,0,6,0,0,0,3],
[4,0,0,8,0,3,0,0,1],
[7,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,6],
[0,6,0,0,0,0,2,8,0],
[0,0,0,4,1,9,0,0,5],
[0,0,0,0,8,0,0,7,9] ]

print "Here is what the Sudoku grid looks like: "
display(grid)
if isValid(grid) == 1:
solve(grid)
print "Here is the solved Sudoku Puzzle!: "
print "----------------------------------"
display(grid)
else:
print "not valid"

If you look at my isValid function I wrote out what I want to do. Is there any statement that can do this? I've tried continue but I got stuck in an infiinite loop. Help please!

Thanks.

YOU NEED NUMPY TO RUN THIS....i think.

from numpy import *
def isValid(grid):
count = 0
for x in range(0,9):
for y in range(0,9):
if grid[x][y] == 0:
# tell it to skip rest of code in function and keep going through for loop
a, b = x, y
x = 0
for i in range(0,9):
if grid[a][b] == grid[x+i][b]:
count += 1
if count != 1:
return 2
count = 0
return 1


you are reassigning the loop variable withing the loop...which is the reason for ur infinite loop

Thanks!

I tried to fix it but did not suceed.
Why does this cause an infinite loop:

def isValid(grid):
count = 0
for x in range(0,9):
for y in range(0,9):
if grid[x][y] != 0:
print "infty"
for i in range(0,9):
if grid[x][y] == grid[i][y]:
count += 1
if count != 1:
return 2
count = 0
return 1
